Stop posting these, they are a little bit funny, but not that funny.
-
Smug skeptics, though I tend to agree with them to an extent, trigger my bully reflex. >_<
-
Do not worry, Tiki refused the “VI”! 
But I will try post (only) the Neil deGrasse Tyson card.
Atk

Cool. Didn’t know he had one. Pretty cool guy.
-
Not yet…
-
NdGT rocks.
Also: does one exist of John Scalzi?
-
No! Yet…

Okay, this is getting rather stale.

WTF is this? At first I thought Greydon Square was a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

ok penn and teller is a pretty cool guy but do we need to really hype up a c-rate ironic sci-fi writer and someone who dedicates their life to debunking uri geller?
Debunking uri geller is like debunking xena warrior princes no one ever thought it was real just interesting in a weird way
letterman has pretty much floated geller’s career since i was born but it’s mostly because letterman knows it’s funny to make geller look like a crazy asshole. letterman should be writing the fucking book

James Randi is fucking awesome, he fights ‘woo’ and has offered up a full million dollars to anyone that can demonstrate psychic or otherwordly abilities and prove themselves: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi_Foundation
-
Sorry, tiki, but the million dollar challenge is bullshit. Penn & Teller could do a show on it, that’s how bullshit it is. The qualifications needed to even apply for it are bullshit, the money you need to pay out of pocket to apply is bullshit, and the restrictions and conditions he puts on it are bullshit.
Aside from that, the JREF (James Randi Educational Foundation) Forums are bullshit, too. Nothing but a place for pseudo-intellectuals and wanna-be scientists to pretend they know more than anyone else. All anyone does there is wait for someone to show up with a question about something unusual and then they all stand around and verbally stone them while patting each other on the back.
My favorite is when they accuse someone of using anecdote as evidence, and then in the next thread use an anecdote to tell someone how wrong they are.
Professional skeptics are dangerously proud & closed minded at times.
-
I second this statement. James Randi is about as reliable a source on Paranormal and psychic phenomena as Kent Ham is on Evolution and Geology.
-
well, it’s easy to be an expert in something that doesn’t exist, right? kinda hard to debunk evolution and geology, and those that do just end up looking like dopes
-
Randi is an expert in stage tricks and fooling people. It makes him better at figuring out how scam artists and delusional nutters are doing their thing.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi_Foundation#History_of_the_challenge
“To claim, one must agree to a protocol for testing, must show in a preliminary test before a foundation representative that they are likely to succeed, and finally make a demonstration in a formal test in front of independent witnesses.[9] To date, over 1,000 applications have been filed but no one has passed a preliminary test, which is set up and agreed upon by both Randi and the applicant.”
that kind of bullshit? or maybe you were referring to the ADE651 bomb detection unit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE651 that he railed against: www.internet-d.com/?p=6624 or perhaps you’re referring to him refusing to even consider testing breatharianism, in which people claim they can survive with no food or water, but just air
that money is just sitting in an account, waiting for someone to prove that they can do what they claim to do: web.archive.org/web/20031212044149/http://www.skepticreport.com/images/investmentaccount.gif

A million bucks that could feed and provide medical care to poor children (among many, many other good causes) is rotting away in an account waiting for someone to do something nigh-impossible… We get it, there’s no such thing as real ESP, now buy a dumpster baby a sandwich or something.
-
You go buy a dumpster baby a sandwich. See how easy that was?
-
No, tiki. I wasn’t talking about any of that. The work he’s done regarding the bomb detection unit is admirable, and there are obviously some folks who he shouldn’t test due to safety issues. I’m also not discounting all the good things he’s done.
What I’m talking about is this:
“THIS OFFER IS NOT OPEN TO ANY AND ALL PERSONS. Before being considered as an applicant, the person applying must satisfy two conditions: First, he/she must have a “media presence,” which means having been published, written about, or known to the media in regard to his/her claimed abilities or powers. This can be established by producing articles, videos, books, or other published material that specifically addresses the person’s abilities. Second, he/she must produce at least one signed document from an academic who has witnessed the powers or abilities of the person, and will validate that these powers or abilities have been verified.”
This basically means that the only people he will be testing are obvious charlatans. People who seek the spotlight for fame & fortune. If there was someone on this earth who could demonstrate an unexplainable ability, who is to say that it’s someone who would want to be recognized by the media?
-
The reason for that rule is that psychologically unhinged people were trying to take the challenge and the challenge was getting bogged down with people in need of professional help. If you can get your story in a paper, and an academic vouches that you can do something that they can’t explain, you have been through a de facto screening process.
As for your claim that the real magic people are being secretive is an argument from ignorance. I don’t know that everybody in the world doesn’t have special powers, so you have to be right. What I can be certain of is that everybody who has been tested is a fake, and I can make the prediction that everybody tested in the future will likely be a fake as well.
Even better is that every person who takes the challenge agrees to all of the rules and requirements as being a fair test of their abilities. They believe that their skills work in a statistically significant manner.
-
I’d guess that anyone who wanted the million dollar prize is not interested in secrecy. They want to be legitimated. The gypsies that claim special psychic powers and some kind of magic may be secretive in the extreme, so they’re not going to allow their powers to be tested. Belief is important.
As fracked stated, it works as a screening process.
-
I have to say right now that all the ‘parallel universe’ bullshit is just as ridiculous all the ‘there is a big man in the sky’ bullshit. Forget the fucking junk science, please.
-
Penn and Teller is hypocrites of the highest caliber.
The very fact that they’re celebrities is because of an illustrious career as…
wait for it…
MAGICIANS.
Without that they’d just be 2 loud, redneck assholes instead of 2 famous, loud, skeptic redneck assholes.
-
What bstaples says…(except for the “redneck” part, which I don’t understand).
-
1) Rednecks?
2) two loud people?
3) Their entire schtick for ten years was that they explained their tricks in funny ways.
-
I hate how Teller is all loud and shit…
-
What? They do magic tricks, key word, tricks.
Psychics and faith healers claim their stuff is real and rip people off, give them false hope against disease, etc.
P&T sell entertainment and that is all. Except for their batshit nutty libertarian beliefs.

“If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You become a crotchety old person convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) But every now and then, a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If you are too much in the habit of being skeptical about everything, you are going to miss or resent it, and either way you will be standing in the way of understanding and progress. ” – Carl Sagan
-
You’re taking that quote completely out of context and you should know it. Carl Sagan literally WROTE THE BOOK on modern scepticism and why it should be practised.
-
Who would fit that description, Lotus?
-
Don’t know. We all have our cognitive biases. If you can find someone who perfectly fits it let me know.
-
I think Hitchens may be the coolest person on the planet. I’d love to be a drinking buddy of his.
-
James Randi had the balls to stand up and debunk scammers and bullshit artists who pass illusion off as magic long before anyone else except Houdini.
Whatever you think of his methods, he’s one awesome guy. Anyone who stands up for truth over bullshit is awesome.
-
His youtube channel is worth checking out:

I make love to my MTG cards all night, every night. I need more Scrib Sprites though, anyone want to donate?
-
Feb 21st?
i bought a Conflux Fatpack a few days ago at walmart.
there are some awesome cards in that set
i put this one in my artifact deck
-
Go go, gadget arm!
-
i love my cards but i haven’t got any new ones in a while through.
-
@orchunter
me too. I officially stopped buying (not to say stopped playing by any means, just sworn off boosters) when the broke the game (well, not really, just changed the balance so you get about 150% as much power for any given amount of mana) in Lorwyn. I play a lot of Magic (not very well, mind you) with older cards, but I won’t play with or against anything post-Lorwyn. Of course, if they put things back to the way they used to be, there’s no way I’ll find out… I’ll think of something.
-
Oh yeah, this picture rocks. Here’s to Magic, for giving us a lot of good fantasy art. And some bad fantasy art, but a lot of good stuff.
-
Her right arm… It seems a little… Hokey…?

I have yet to see a image of these without spelling errors. It saddens me.

My mother has been walking around for a week spouting Mike Phelps facts like he’s Chuck Norris. She finally stopped when I added that if you put a phonograph needle to Mike Phelps’ nipple, it plays Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys.
Chuck Norris carries a list of Mike Phelps facts, btw.
-
who ever made this failed with the mana cost. it should definitely cost moar blue mana than any of the others. and 4 plains for lucky strike? I CALL BULLSHIT.
rofl at “moisture in the are”
also, weird biceps are weird
-
and why are his abs asymmetrical?
-
He’s a shaved ape trained to swim…
-
its spelled MICHAEL for fuck’s sake…you jackass.
-
wow
suddenly everyone cares about swimming cause he won it?
I wish the Americans would win some obscure event like the weird ones with the guns and cross country skiing so everyone could try and pretend genuine interest in it without really understanding what it is.
Watching the Olympics and suddenly caring just showing how falsified most people’s interest in anything really is.
America swims the fastest you fucking commie chinks! Fuck you! Fuck! You!
-
I picture him as more of a blue-red dual-color, possibly with shroud and almost certainly with islandwalk, but the power/toughness is bogus. Especially for 5.
Oh, and of course he’d have to be legendary.
-
Wow this image is the epitomy of fail.
-
Wow could they make a less cool card of him? Pffft needs more blue, needs Island walk, needs to be legendary. This is so much fail my eyes are failing.
-
@ magnus
why not? were doing good….. soo why not be proud and interested. are you saying that sence hes breaking so many records and winning so many medals we shouldnt care and look the other way?
this card is soooooo bad and dumb.
-
I cared about swimming before we watch it in brasil probably more then in the US.
-
“soo why not be proud”
Because you or I didn’t do anything but coincidentally live in the same country as him. If he wasn’t American do you think it would all over the news?
I can understand why you might admire and respect someone for their achievements, but its sad that people are proud, as if they had some contribution to his success.
-
well being from the same country as him gives me a sense of pride and patriotism. but i do understand how people are acting “as if they had some contribution to his success.” but either way if someone does well to peak a whole countries interest in some sport that we really didnt care for then kudos. it can be annoying to hear about him like they were seasoned swimfans and followed him on his swimming circut, but im rootin for him cause he is pretty much the best swimmer ever. its like being annoied that people like lance armstrong cause hes good at bike riding. i may be missing the point. if i am please tell me.
-
Its in no way limited to America. Its just fucking stupid that its not that people are really into swimming and appreciate what he did. They just care that someone from their same geographic region did something better than someone from another geographic reason and suddenly he or she are a fucking hero. Retarded.
That’s why the Olympics are stupid. Its a big marketing machine and the events themselves mean sweet fuck all. I mean would anyone even be doing half this shit if they couldn’t get into the Olympics? Is there a big swimming circuit that’s followed in some countries that I don’t know about? Pro swimmers?
It’s all just dumb. Pumping your young with new enhancement drugs that you hope won’t be detected so they can beat the other drug monkeys so you can proudly proclaim “America has the fastest swimmer”. Congratulations. Your economy is still circling the bowl right now. Lets try and keep our priorities straight.

well being from the same country as him gives me a sense of pride and patriotism. but i do understand how people are acting “as if they had some contribution to his success.” but either way if someone does well to peak a whole countries interest in some sport that we really didnt care for then kudos. it can be annoying to hear about him like they were seasoned swimfans and followed him on his swimming circut, but im rootin for him cause he is pretty much the best swimmer ever. its like being annoied that people like lance armstrong cause hes good at bike riding. i may be missing the point. if i am please tell me.

Its in no way limited to America. Its just fucking stupid that its not that people are really into swimming and appreciate what he did. They just care that someone from their same geographic region did something better than someone from another geographic reason and suddenly he or she are a fucking hero. Retarded.
That’s why the Olympics are stupid. Its a big marketing machine and the events themselves mean sweet fuck all. I mean would anyone even be doing half this shit if they couldn’t get into the Olympics? Is there a big swimming circuit that’s followed in some countries that I don’t know about? Pro swimmers?
It’s all just dumb. Pumping your young with new enhancement drugs that you hope won’t be detected so they can beat the other drug monkeys so you can proudly proclaim “America has the fastest swimmer”. Congratulations. Your economy is still circling the bowl right now. Lets try and keep our priorities straight.

Kind of undercosted if you’re playing a block-constructed deck, isn’t it? I don’t think the 2 toughness and legendary status are sufficient to balance against the keywords, particularly if you’ve got an Aura in play that turns all opponents’ creatures into Lolis.
-
Please. Please go, now, and get a hooker.
You NEED sex, right now.
-
Epic Win. Everybody should add the Kool Aid Guy, French Taunter, and Pedobear to their magic deck.
-
Yeah, this would be really good if it was in Lorwyn/Shadowmoor.
-
I’m with Luke, you all reeeeeeally need to get out more.
Really.
Go…now.
Drugs, sex, booze….something.
Please.
-
I get laid a lot. A lot a lot. And she wants to learn how to play Magic. So booyah, bitches!
-
I personally think this i really funny because you have to be familiar with magic to get most of the jokes. That means you can laugh while everyone else stands around confused as all hell.
And thats the best kind of laughter.
-
WG seems like a incorrect color choice for Pedobear.

Cattank may deal its damage to defending player as though it weren’t blocked.
Cattank is indestructible. (“Destroy” effects and lethal damage don’t destroy it)
SPACE AND TIME ARE NO OBSTACLE FOR CATTANK
CATTANK IS STRONG

You’d definitely need mana flares to reach the casting cost on that. Looks like it can still be counter spelled tho. And theres’ always bury.

Or “remove from game”
-
or worship and unblockables

Indeed, all i play nowadays is green trample. Trample is the most devastating ability imo. the look of defeat on your opponent’s face is satisfying. I love the fangren first born, gruul war plow combo. try that out for size in a saproling deck.
-
your nerdy comment almost kills the awesomeness that is dethklok.. but it doesn’t. IT CAN’T. they rock and the darkest dark is quite dark in my opinion, but yet not dark enough yet.
-
even darker is when they went to the deepest, darkest, deepest place on the earth…
THE MARIANAS TRENCH

the acclaim to the level of metal bands hardcore-ness is beginning to sound more and more like “Danger-Area” from the Restaurant at the end of the universe. Its just a bunch of angry guys playing on guitars and drums ffs.
-
Ah yes! HotBlack Desiato..dead for a year because of tax purposes..
LMAO I haven’t read that book in a while..wonder if they’ll actually put that in hitchhikers next movie
-
make ‘em cry with a classic combo of Winter Orb and Icy Manipulator. be all liek, hahas! no landz 4 j00 now!!!1!
-
If they want to make everything black, then shouldn’t that make things black, not colorless? No flavor to this card at all.
-
@ slakinator saproling decks aren’t that bad, all you really have to do is put a few scions of the wild in the deck, give them trample, and have some conclave phalanxes, cause then you have shitloads of little saprolings and other creatures, extremely poweful scions, and you get life for each creature you control when you play the phalanx

wouldn’t that thing on the pic be a “transformATor”, as in transformATion of electric current?
-
hey Bender… no

So it’s a Decepticon or an Autobot?
-
.. naw, it actually is ‘transformers’.
i was rather surprised, too, as i discovered a book with that title in our library.

one of those crazy three phase transformers

That is beautiful.
Ladies I know it’s probably a pain getting into those dresses that look poured on, but know that it never goes un-appreciated.

Reminds me of the futurama bikini.
-
Yeah, but she has to undress with paint thinner…
-
Not if it’s liquid latex instead of paint.
-
definitely not in the CCG or military category

I agree, but am I the only one who kinda hates these cards?
I find them unsatisfying.

they’re fucking stupid and for brain damaged fuckwits who really want to be smarter than they actually are
so ya I agree but no kinda about it

Well, at least they had an astrophysicist? I have to agree though. The layout is dull; the wit is trying too hard (or maybe not enough); and the art is terrifying in my opinion.
August 3, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Yeah. Boring, uninteresting, completely uninformative. At least this one actually looks like him.
August 3, 2010 at 7:36 pm
once I was drunk, and I sent him an email, and he replied, it was awesome. my brush with fame!

Namedrop Alert: I’ve met him, a couple times. Great guy.
If someone can find it, post a link to the Colbert Report episode where he’s at the Hayden with Tyson, and Colbert licks an iron meteorite (on public display, that thousands of tourists are allowed to touch, so it’s got more germs than a subway handrail.) It may be the only moment ever caught on camera where Tyson completely loses his composure for a few seconds.
