Sceptic's DictionaryI love intellectual verbal jousting with my friends & family, and this dictionary seems to be a handy reference forembellishing some of my cynical arguments. :-)

I didn't expect acupuncture to work, but it did for me. I went there to try and get an insurance client. I don't know or care why it works. A sceptic is a DOUBTER, not bad writer who ANGRILY disbelieves everything.

I've gotta laugh at this. 510 entries makes for a really wimpy dictionary. If this is all it requires to be a skeptic...I doubt it.
