| Quote of the Week |
Thinking critically is a chore. It does not come naturally or easily. And if the fruits of such efforts are not carefully displayed to young minds, then they will not harvest them. Every school child must be implanted with the wonder of the atom, not the thrall of magic. |

Skeptical Puzzle ()
Being set on the idea Of getting to this place He concocted a theory that would be a Controversy in science's face
He says our whole conception
Of pre-history is wrong
He insists his arguments are not a deception
Rather a pursuit that is life-long
Three points in a row with one offset
Is apparently the key
To unlocking a secret that is a threat
To how we understand our history
He believes the past is misunderstood
That history has been systematically slaughtered
But if we tried to see his revisionist history
All our heads would be under water.
Last Week's puzzle:
I sure hate this delusional person
Though hate may be a word too strong
As I learn more, my opinion does worsen
Perhaps I won't re-write this song
Micro set scams were just some of his wares He claims he is spiritual at heart A dozen or so of these blessings are shared Jesus could only hope to Master their art
From his website I read, as they humbly plead That they can lay hands and cure you of ills Just join them and pray, for you will see one day You've found their holy mountains and hills
For it was their king, that taught them these things They are simply swine to this pearl thrower A doctor, a reverend, and a knight, so he sings But it was yoga that made him a knower
Name the person.
Answer: Dr. George King, the Etherias Society Winner: Cethis
