Pseudoscience is shaking in its collective boots, Ed?  Is that what
you're saying?

So when you show us links to the same pictures of the same rocks that
you say are the same petrified human body parts, astrologers the world
over cower in fear?

Really?

All kidding aside, Ed, you still owe me a rebuttal - remember? 

Now you and I both know you were lying, but let me remind you:  I
asked you about the skull in the boulder and why you STILL claim it's
a skull when you were shown so long ago that it was just a bunch of
clay.  I mentioned that one of the letters YOU POSTED showed that a
scientist washed away the clay and you left satisifed that there was
no bone in that boulder.

Here, years later, you still refer us to that picture.

Now I asked you about that several times, and you ducked from it as
you always do.

Finally, a few weeks ago, just before I went on my trip, you answered
me and said you'd issue a rebuttal if I could produce the letter.

So I produced the letter; and you disappeared.  

Ed, there are a few fools in these newsgroups who don't understand
that such things show intent on your part to deceive.  When you issue
a challenge as a condition of a response, the challenge is met, and
you run away, that shows intent.  When you make the same claims after
having the publicly falsified and you do not deal with the
falsification, that shows intent.

One more time, Ed, with respect to the skull in the boulder.

You have been claiming for years that there is a skull embedded in a
boulder.

As part of your "rejection letter" series of posts, you posted a
letter from one scientist who told us in it that he had shown you that
the "skull" in the boulder was an accumulation of clay, that he washed
it away in your presence, and that you left satisfied that there was,
in this case, no bone in the boulder.

In light of that, I asked you several times for a more recent photo of
the skull in the boulder and you never replied.

In light of that, I asked you several times why you still show that
old photograph and claim that there is a skull embedded in that
boulder when we have the old letter that YOU provided showing us
otherwise.

You never did reply with a new photo of the boulder; and you replied
ONCE to my challenges about the letter.  When I produced the evidence,
you ran.

Now that I am out of the country again, here you are posting like a
whirling dervish.  It means I can't look in that often and I'm having
enough fun this time around that I will probably pop in pretty
infrequently.  But you are always easy to find, so Ed, where's that
promised rebuttal?
