What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say 'I know' instead of 'I am learning,' and pray for credulity and inertia as wise men pray for skepticism and activity. |

Introduction
You're listening to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, your escape to reality.
S: Hello and welcome to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe. Today is Wednesday, May 30th 2007, and this is your host Steven Novella, President of the New England Skeptical Society. Joining me this evening are Bob Novella,
B: Hey everybody.
S: Perry DeAngelis,
P: Hello.
S: Jay Novella,
J: Hey, whaddya read?
S: and Evan Bernstein.
E: And to all our listeners in Peru, a very happy National Potato Day.
S: (laughs) National Potato Day in Peru.
J: You figure they'd have potato day in Ireland, not in Peru.
E: They have it in Peru.
S: Rebecca Watson is not with us this evening unfortunately, she's having technical difficulties. Actually...
P: (derisively) With her Mac.
S: With her, with her...computer.
E: She can't find the ON switch.
J: Steve, half our listeners just shut the podcast off, probably.
S: Yeah, it's true. She has been having some technical difficulties the last couple of weeks. You know, if you may have noticed she has been unusually quiet. It was just because she was having troubles with the recordings.
P: She had some technical difficulties...with her Mac!
J: She had a bad Mac attack.
S: (affirming) She had a bad Mac attack.
P: So what she did was, she went out, and bought another Mac!
(laughing)
S: But apparently it's not up and running yet, so we plan on having her with us again next week.
P: But wait a minute, I see the commercials, they're effortless. You press a button and they're on.
E: Yeah, they make no effort to work.
P: Yeah...
J: Perry why? Do you relate to the fat guy in those commercials?
P: The fat guy is me.
