In what is certifiably a rare occurrence, I’ve found myself reasonably impressed by the skepticism found in a special news article. Specifically, by the piece 9/11 Conspiracy Files, which aired on CBC Newsworld this week.
The hour-long program focuses on perhaps the largest foundation of the 9/11 “Truthers’” conspiracy theory, the collapse of WTC7. In it, [...]

The Government’s Putting Rainbows in our Water

If you thought conspiracy theories couldn’t get any crazier, dumber, or both…
It could be real, it could be fake, but it’s nevertheless great stuff.
Sheer Lunacy


Mitchell Gerskup @ August 4th, 2008 - 3 Comments
I recently read an article on the BBC’s website about “flat-earthers”, i.e. people who believe that the Earth is flat. The article investigates why people with access to so much knowledge to the contrary can actively believe that the Earth is flat. Among other things, they believe that the moon landings were faked, [...]
More Alien Nuttery

Now on the BBC
I can’t help but think that whoever wrote this article had their tongue firmly planted in their cheek. It’s the picture captions that really do it for me. “A flying saucer” succinctly describes a very obviously computer-rendered scene (including the obligatory Photoshop lens flare), and “UFO over house” underscores a picture of [...]
Aliens Have Made Contact

And not only have they made contact, this has been going on for at least the past 60 years! They have been consorting with various governments who have conspired to keep it a secret for this long. But now, the word is out. Unbelievable, you say? Well, I have proof. Hard evidence. I have… wait, [...]
The Problem with Bill C-51


Mitchell Gerskup @ May 30th, 2008 - No Comments
There seems to be a rather large problem with Bill C-51 that has been overlooked by our policy makers and health officials alike: nobody seems to understand the bill. The premise is simple enough: treat all medications the same way. If you want to sell something that claims to cure cancer, then prove [...]
The Dangers of Cell Towers


Mitchell Gerskup @ May 29th, 2008 - No Comments
As it turns out, cell towers actually are dangerous… just not in the way we had previously discussed. A post on the ‘Apple 2.0′ blog on cnn.com outlines one of the hidden dangers of the increased number of cell towers.
On May 16, Jonathan Guilford, 25, of Fort Payne, Alabama, was working on an AT&T [...]
Corporate Paymasters Wanted


Mitchell Gerskup @ May 23rd, 2008 - No Comments
It has come to my attention that corporate paymasters sponsor a vast majority of the scientific community (including science and skeptical bloggers… in order to further their evil corporate agendas, no doubt). Sadly, we here at Lintbox are still lacking a corporate paycheck! If you are interested (or know of anybody who is interested) in [...]
Are Cell Towers Safe?


Mitchell Gerskup @ May 17th, 2008 - 1 Comment
Probably. There are no definite answers in science; all we can ever know are effects to various degrees of certainty. I was originally planning to write a long follow-up article to criticisms of my original post on cell tower radiation (and I still am), but I thought a bit more of an immediate [...]
A Reminder That 9/11 Truthers Are Assholes


Kyle @ May 12th, 2008 - No Comments
Sometimes, due to my silly and naive notion that humans are mostly decent and good, I let myself think that 9/11 conspiracy theorists are well-intentioned (despite how deluded they are).
This article which I stumbled upon is good evidence to the contrary: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06218/711239-85.stm
Accusing a faceless “government” of conspiring against its own people for whatever ends is [...]
