The thing is, one of us has facts on our side, and the other one is you.

I really don't need to put a lot of effort into refuting this because there are mountains of evidence against it.

As for Penn and Teller, there's a difference between someone illustrating a point using known facts and an actual source.

Anyway, I'm sorry you've decided to buy into this; generally, I think you're a pretty decent guy, but you're simply wrong about this.

...more like expertise in spreading it...

Ad hom? Gorski is possibly dubious as a source. I do not care enough to vet him. Evidently neither do you. Nor do I about forming a convenient opinion about the issue but am satisfied to learn more about it. You, and others, are satisfied with having a opinion. A basis in knowledge less so it would seem.

You, and you are not alone, engaged in ad hom of sorts at this video. I, frankly, found and find it humorously interesting. Indeed characteristic of you in particular...your "in your face" demeanor. Not that you are alone in the current crop extant at the Sift.

I tend toward approaching others online as would I in person. I find it common, unfortunately all too common, for people to do otherwise online. Regrettable and unpleasant.

...oh, and Penn and Teller...unimpeachable as sources.

Penn & Teller on the Anti-Vaccination Movement has been added as a related post - related requested by ChaosEngine.

My expertise is not really scatology in general, but more specifically around bovine fecal detection.

This registers off the scale.

And since you have decided to engage in an Ad Hominem on Gorski rather than refute any of the actual science, I will do the same and ask that if you are going to attack the author rather than the argument, you at least do so using a site that doesn't have Jenny fucking McCarthy as one of it's contributors

Anyway, even if there was a link between autism and vaccination, it would still be the lesser of two evils.

Try that with Blue Man Group. None of them spoke to me back in January 2001 in Sin City's Luxor. Although they did give me hand prints on my sweater. Did you get photo(graph)s with Penn and Teller?

Yeah, he's not super strict about it...it seems to just be part of the act and most of the time we see him they are appearing as "Penn & Teller". When he is doing his own thing like promoting a book he wrote he has done radio interviews on NPR.

Then there's also the ending of their movie Penn & Teller Get Killed.

I saw them some years ago and they stood at the exit for autographs, etc. on the way out, and I was surprised when Teller actually spoke to me.

Of course I knew he could speak, but I thought he was strict about never uttering a word in front of the general public or his audience.

I love that they called out Piff the Magic Dragon. I only know that guy from "Fool Us," but he was a real talent. I guess he's actually become something of a well-known comedy magician of sorts.

P.S. Boy, that was a big bucket!

I think it's all just stuff the customers are saying to their usual bank teller or bank rep. I know my mom gets pretty chatty with her bankers, so they know all kinds of stuff about our family.
