More about The One

---

Here is an interview with Richard Saunders about his involvement with the television program The One, which let us know who can be lauded as Australia's Best Psychic. To add to his famousness arising from the show, Richard has now received two nominations for the Bent Spoon Award (which is one more than the show itself has received).

• Karen Stollznow at Skepbitch (?)

New Quiz

---

It's quiz time again. There is no time to rest, so get answering. Questions for the August quiz are here.

Old quiz

---

The full answers for the July quiz are here. The answers are early (which is better than on time) because of the incredible efficiency of both Dr Bob and the Web Wrangler. We apologise for bettering your expectations and we will try not to do it again.

Coming Convention

---

The 2008 National Convention will be held in Adelaide over the weekend of October 11 and 12. Preliminary details can be found here.

Write stuff. Get published.

---

The Web Wrangler can't do all this by himself. He has a life, a job and his own projects, so contributions to this site are always welcome. The only restrictions are that the material must have something to do with the aims and objectives of Australian Skeptics and must not expose us to legal action. Get writing.

Those amusing creationists!

---

Creationists keep asking about gaps in the fossil record. Dr John Long had the answer at the Australian Skeptics 2006 National Convention. You can buy a DVD of his presentation from the DVD section of our online shop.

The DVD with the presentations from the 2007 National Convention is now on sale. Get it at the Skeptics shop.
