Teo is an Australian surgeon who has a brilliant scheme for anyone with a bit of surgical skill and a complete lack of conscience. He performs surgery on inoperable brain tumors in kids dying of cancer, and then ships them off to the Burzynski clinic in Texas to get injected with urine and die. You’ve …

There’s a fine line between being a Time Lord and being senile
To fill in all the dead air and vaporous mumblings on his far-too-long broadcasting schedule, Pat Robertson pontificated on the nature of time recently.

How to free kids of religion
I’m sure there are many ways to break free of religion, but here’s a compilation of religion-busting strategies for children.
