Yesterday I was visiting with a group of self-styled "skeptics" and they watched a DVD Showtime epidose which featured cryptozoology, the CFZ, and some of the faces around here I've learned to recognize. Penn & Teller: BS! Well, I was pleased to see that the CFZ's representatives stood up very well to the mockery expected from such comedians. Yes, they were mocked, but I thought their arguments against the CFZ and friends was rather weakly made. I was especially glad to see the show kept itself tastefully away from any jokes about the cane... And, like many weak arguments, it was implied that all persons interested in cryptozoozology are no better than our lowest common denominator. I noticed plenty of other weak points, but I am getting verbose as it is. Anyway, well done!
