This week I challenged Jamie, Nigel and guest Gary to determine which urban legends I presented were based of fact and which were not. Some highlights include an apparently burnt on-air light, and an intelligent debate on the correctness of arachnid vs. arachnoid. Also there was some confusion about the ruling of the Texas School Board decision. I'm very unhappy to report I was (mostly) correct.

 

No Libel Laws in Science

 

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
