Unpseud a pseudoscience!

Well, I chose Ufology. This means that I would like aliens to be real?

Having thought about it a bit more, would this mean that all the reports of people having anal probes and so forth would be real too? If so, then maybe I'll change my mind.

I think it is likely that aliens do exist. It seems rather arrogant to think this planet is the only one populated in all of existence.


I'd also like crystal healing and homeopathy to be real. Homeopathy appeals to me, and my mum swears it works, but so far I remain unconvinced.

Ufology doesn't mean thinking aliens are real (I think they are possibly real, myself). It means thinking UFOs are real and that the government covers this up. It does, by extension, mean the anal probe people might not be lying :lol:

Ah well, I 'take it as red' that the Government covers everything up. It's their job.

Alchemy still exists except that they''re trying to create black gold.


I picked Homeopathy. Modern medicine has come a long way but to be able to heal people with things as simple as salt water tinctures would save a lot of money.

None of the above.

This is BS. I was using that term for my scientific study of breakfast cereals.

Yes, eating dry Frosted Flakes out of a cup "kicks ass," scientifically speaking.
