Their lawyers must be on the verge of suicide.

I'm still not 100% optimistic about a win (though that may be my pessimistic side attempting to avert potential disappointment...when it comes to pseudoscience, to me the glass is always half empty.)

Another (humorously) interesting link from FoxNews - apparently the key to the true genius of Einstein & Darwin is managing your inbox .

I'm cautious, as well. Pseudoscience is a pernicious and seductive evil, appealing to many people partly because it re-inforces prejudices and partly because it offers simple solutions to complex issues.

It's like liberalism - fuzzy-headed, feel-good answers to tough questions. Feelings over facts, emotions over reason. And just like liberalism, pseudoscience will continue to win converts among them who want easy answers.

That's why we can't let down our guard, even when our opponents are as transparent and incompetent as this bunch of yahoos.
