"Baloney Detection Kit,". Ten questions we should ask when encountering a claim.

The 10 Questions:
      1. How reliable is the source of the claim?
      2. Does the source make similar claims?
      3. Have the claims been verified by somebody else?
      4. Does this fit with the way the world works?
      5. Has anyone tried to disprove the claim?
      6. Where does the preponderance of evidence point?
      7. Is the claimant playing by the rules of science?
      8. Is the claimant providing positive evidence?
      9. Does the new theory account for as many phenomena as the old theory?
    10. Are personal beliefs driving the claim?

Australian Skeptics is a loose confederation of groups across Australia that investigate paranormal and pseudo-scientific claims from a responsible scientific viewpoint. Most people are familiar with the more popular subjects that we investigate such as astrology, fortune telling, UFOs and crop circles; But did you know that we also investigate topics like fundamentalism, Feng Shui, subluxations and vitamin supplements? Some topics that we investigate can be found at the page where we list what we are sceptical of. Test your sceptical knowledge and see how many of the topics on the list are familiar to you. If you’ve never heard of the Australian Skeptics before then you should also take time to  read the aims of Australian Skeptics.

Skeptics Dictionary. A website and a book. Each features definitions, arguments, and essays on topics ranging from acupuncture to zombies, and provides a lively, commonsense trove of detailed information on things supernatural, paranormal, and pseudoscientific.

Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking, (PhACT). Skepticism. Astrology, Channeling, Crashed saucers, Dowsing, Free Energy, Homeopathy, Precognition, Psychic powers, Telepathy. All these have two things in common. Firstly, between a third and two-thirds of the population believe in them, and, secondly, there is no evidence at all for their validity. Despite this, most people take them for granted. We skeptics want people to lead less fearful, happier, and more productive lives. We are fighting the people who take your money and give nothing practical back: the telephone psychics, the astrologers, the channelers, the people who write "alien abduction" books, and the producers of junk TV shows. We are fighting the people who risk your health: the faith healers, the psychic surgeons, the homeopaths, and the peddlers of worthless cancer cures. We know that not all these people are cynics out to make a buck. But, however sincere the others may be, the harm they do is just as real.

Straight Dope. Fighting Ignorance Since 1973. Trying to answer the truth behind the myths. Ask a question about somethingg you have heard e.g. Is it aerodynamically impossible for bumblebees to fly?, Why cant chickens fly? and hopefully, (you may, but no promises), you will get the answer.

Overunity. Free Energy, (The Production of Free Energy, Perpetual Motion, higher energy Output than what is put into the system). Free Energy, etc...
