Probably some of you saw this one, but I’ve been meaning to post it anyway. Three different friends/ family members clipped it and brought it to me the day it was in the paper.

The definative response! In fact, when my dad handed me the clipping, I said, “I can’t believe you’re giving me this!”

These are all anectodal stories; I can’t trust them.

Did we have a poster that tended to say things like that to this type of thread, yet actually meant them?

Okay, do you have any actual **evidence** that this was in the paper? Hmmm?

I’m unconvinced that any of you exist. If you all do not exist, then you could not be posting to this thread. Therefore, until I have irrefutable proof that you all (and not just some of you) exist, I don’t believe this thread exists.

Of course, we have only your word for that…

[lekatt] This comic strip just proves that skeptics are narrow minded and unwilling to let go of their belief in science. They’ve lost. The other world exists and I can prove it. Spirit wins and comics only exist in the minds of skeptics.[/lekatt]
