Another excellent resource for skeptics

http://www.skepticblog.org/

Weekly blogs from Michael Shermer and the likes of him. Very interesting reads there!

For one example, I find the idea that you can not make an improbability argument after the fact, made at http://www.skepticblog.org/2012/05/09/the-tornado-in-a-junkyard-argument/#more-16895, very interesting. Probabilities and statistics are a general human blind spot, in my opinion; the argument he makes is totally obvious, but still one probably wouldn't have come up with it on the spot...
