Richard Dawkins interviews Craig Venter for "The Genius of Charles Darwin", the Channel 4 UK TV program which won British Broadcasting Awards' "Best Documentary Series" of 2008. Craig Venter founded The Institute for Genomic Research and has been credited with being instrumental in mapping the human genome. His team published the first complete genome of an individual human - Venter's own DNA sequence.

This footage was shot with the intention of editing for a television program. What you see here is the full extended interview, which includes a lot of rough camera transitions that were edited out of the final program (along with a lot of content).

A couple of times a year, in between his celebfest of stars, Larry King hosts the UFOlogists who regale the talk show king with an endless parade of blurry photographs, grainy videos, and breathless tales of government coverups and conspiracies. This night Larry included a couple of skeptics: Michael Shermer of Skeptic magazine and Buzz Aldrin, of Apollo 11 fame, who described his own UFO experience during his trip to the moon (it turned out to be one of the rocket panels carried out with them).

Here is a great vanishing head illusion performed by friend to BP Richard Wiseman, now why am I posting this video here I hear you all wondering, well it is to prove a point, that point being that you simply cant trust your eyes all of the time.

So whether it is seeing a ghost, a UFO or the Loch Ness Monster, always ask yourself, is it possibly my eyes are deceiving me? Because in all likelyhood they are.

Anyway here is the Vanishing Head Illusion, I can think of a few psychics whose heads I wouldn't mind disappearing!!

Paranormal Burbank are the ONLY paranormal investigators in the world that BadPsychics.com supports, and we are happy to bring to you their latest episode.

Trust me guys you will love Paranormal Burbank, links to previous episodes included, so you can catch up.

Part 1
"In Part 1 of this special two part episode, Artie reminisces about the time he and Dallas were teachers at a local college."

Part 2 - NEW 27/06/09
"The sage continues as Artie falls prey to his student's evil scheme. Can Dallas save him in time?"

With a sea of information coming at us from all directions, how do we sift out the misinformation and bogus claims, and get to the truth? Michael Shermer of Skeptic Magazine lays out a "Baloney Detection Kit," ten questions we should ask when encountering a claim.

"Clinton Richard Dawkins, FRS, FRSL (born 26 March 1941) is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science author. He was formerly Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford and was a fellow of New College, Oxford."

"Michael Brant Shermer (born September 8, 1954 in Glendale, California) is an American science writer, historian of science, founder of The Skeptics Society, and Editor in Chief of its magazine Skeptic, which is largely devoted to investigating and debunking pseudoscientific and supernatural claims. The Skeptics Society currently has over 55,000 members."

On a recent visit to Australia, the country was still talking about The One: The Search for Australia’s Most Gifted Psychic. This show was an American Idol for psychics, in which five contestants underwent a series of performances and psychic obstacle tests to find the supposed “best of the best”.

There was even a token skeptic; fortunately, a real skeptic for once. Richard Saunders from the Skeptic Zone podcast (www.skepticzone.tv) did an excellent job of promoting skepticism, despite the editing.

There were five tests of the alleged psychic skills. Fortunately, Richard consulted with the producers to ensure the tests were stringent to prevent unmerited positive results (a problem that beset the preliminary tests). These tests included matching luggage to owners, locating the remains of infamous outlaw Ned Kelly, and finding the body of a missing British tourist (an experiment in bad taste that earned public derision).
