One of my favorite movie lines is from "Amadeus". When Emperor Joseph II is asked how he liked a new Mozart piece he responds, "Too many notes." and when asked how to fix it, he says, "take out a few."
It's good to see that royalty stays true to form.

More of a column than a blog. And very little about pirates, really. This be the blog of Randal T. Murray (No, the "T" does not stand for "Tiberius", no matter what you may have heard).

A Skeptic Is A Man You Can Trust
"In line to get my badge for this year's skeptics conference in Pasadena, Calif., I recognized the little man standing behind me. He was bald, with a full, white beard, and he looked older than I would have imagined. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'is this the line for the skeptics meeting?' When I nodded, he looked me up and down and replied, 'Oh, I doubt that.'"
I love James Randi. And I'm glad for the change in strategy of CSICOP. Geller and his ilk are small fry compared to the really dangerous sort we're faced with today.

Wealth Management Company = Strip Club?
I've got to admit, these headlines catch my eye, but this statement left me saying, "Waaaah?"
Designer dresses vs. retailored breasts "'I like well-fitted clothing with straight lines, a real classic look,' says Pollert, who works for a wealth management company and tends to dress more conservatively than one might expect of a woman who has had breast implants that increased her cup size to 34F. 'I'm bigger around the top, but I'm small everywhere else,' she says. 'So I have to have everything tailored, especially jackets.'"
34F.
F?
Wow.
