POPSSpread the Word Here's your FSM toolkit. Put on your white shirt and tie*, hope on your bicycle and start ringing those doorbells. Join the proslytyzing bandwagon. *White shirt and tie optional. Pirate costume entirely appropriate.

POPSBurnt Offerings are Next! I've included the date in the clip to show that this is really a news story from this century! I love the ending of the clip where the good pastor calls forth Elijah's prayer for rain and asks why can't we do the same? Because we understand what causes rain? Just a thought. Also of note is the governor's spokesman saying that "I think it always works, even if there's not the desired outcome," To the more erudite readers out there this of course is the "Flip a Coin" defense of prayer. No matter what the outcome - claim it worked. Anyone care for a case of snake oil with that?

POPSScientific Icon Found As often happens following one of these scientific miracles expect a spat of similar instances to follow. Just this morning I found a forgotten bag of bread covered with Rhizopus stolonifer that suspiciously resembled the image of Charles Darwin. I'm thinking perhaps a shrine is in order.

POPSPapa Smurf Actually, smart ass clip title aside, this is a sad story. Here's a guy who was taken in by some sort of pseudo-scientific silver nonsense which made his skin turn blue. He actually left his previous town because, according to him, others wouldn't accept him in his blue state. Why he continues to imbibe his silver concoctions is anyone's guess .

POPSArmegeddon Around the Corner? Marty Kaplan makes fun of poor Huck. Check the link for the other convincing evidence that the Huckster is who Kaplan seems to think he is.

POPSEar-y Comparison I've never paid attention to this before but in comparison to "conventional" ears, don't Perot's seem odd? As though they were added as an afterthought...
