Recently, I heard about a new show from Penn & Teller called Bullshit.

A quick search on Google Video for "penn teller bullshit" netted some results.

They're damn funny. It's like Mythbusters but dedicated not to "myths" but to life's idiosyncrancies (if you want to call them that).

My favorites thus far are the Organic vs. Non-Organic Foods and the one on Feng Sui and Bottled Water.

Holy crap, that's good stuff! I just watched the organic foods one...there's not much beating around the bush with those guys!

Yea. Their curse-addled, straighforward approach is entertaining. Some of their methods to "disprove" or "refute" the things are less than.. uhh... exhaustive (in comparison to, say, the Mythbusters), but they're upfront about being non-scientific.

I think Penn and Teller are on season three of BULLSH!T. I enjoy the show!

Season 3? Damn it, I need me some Showtime. Those were some hilarious shows. The water one is pretty funny too.

I saw the 9/11 episode and there is one other source the conspiracy nutbars don't was to use , it's the CBC Documentary that had actual video from a pre-9/11 party by a few hijackers marking
their journey to martyrdom .
Canadian Security survelance had links to the UK and because of a fear by the hijackers that
they were about to be discovered , the leader panicked and pushed up the date to Sept 11th .

But , no matter how much evidence you have to prove these theorists wrong they will cling to another conspiracy that you are behind the cover-up and fabricated all your evidence.

I accept the concept of Global-Warming , but I blame the Sun for 99% of the Earths climate changes since we still have trouble figuring out
the newly found Wolley Mamoths frozen and intact with complete undigested food items in the stomach .
Some Scientists believe that the Polar cap were never liquid water, the sudden cold sucked out water vapour from the air and condensed to make layers upon layers of frost that compressed under its own weight to become ice , and if they do melt , we will have no more water on Earth then what originally existed , even your gold ring can be traced back to the big-bang theory since all matter is said to be created and can't be destroyed .
