After months of not being able to make the announcement (since the TV show featuring her record breaking attempt had yet to air), Carisa and I are finally able to announce to the world that she is now the proud recipient of a Guinness World Record for longest flaming torch tooth-hold (click on the link to see the video of her performance). She's been appearing in tons of different media outlets, including T ...

We haven't done a mailbag in a long time, so I thought it might be a good idea if we did a crazy huge one for The Essentials DVD. Now, to make it more interesting, I want fans to send questions for each individual host as well. Carisa, Jeff, and Ryan are going to be in the hot-seat, and you'll be the ones putting them there. Of course, it wouldn't be a mailbag without some of you asking me a bunch of weird ...

Catholics are hilarious. It's been 60 years since the invention of the pill, and these dinosaurs are still trying to argue that it's the most evil invention since the guillotine. Abortion and birth control are two sides of the same coin. The currency of which is the prevention and/or the destruction of nascent human life. While some forms of contraception, such as the condom or the diaphragm, are not themse ...

What do you get when you take a bunch of religious fundamentalists and take them on a tour of America while challenging their faith? Well, you get people even more determined to believe in silly bullshit while accusing everyone else of fabricating evidence of things they don't understand. Worth a watch if you've got the 54 minutes of spare time to throw around. ...

Fools! don't you realize that it was Nimrod, the oh-so-historical founder of the Babylonian empire (which one again?) that started all this New Age stuff...and he was so evil, even mentioning his name makes you sound as though you're talking in a gigantic cavern or something. Here's an idea: maybe someone should call him and ask if he stopped taking his medication. (via Christian Nightmares) ...

One of the most aneurysm-inducing quotes of 2012 had to be faux-atheist S.E. Cupp's comment that she would never vote for an atheist president. Believing she had a point by saying she couldn't trust anyone who didn't have God as a moral compass, what Cupp and her similarly minded ilk fail to realize, however, is that beliefs predicated on violent nonsense have the tendency to reflect Bronze Age barbarism. M ...

So, what do you get for exposing the corruption of an organization like the Vatican? Well, how about an 18 month prison term handed down by the very institution you were trying to expose? Oh, and you can add the cost of the trial to the list of his expenses: The pope's former butler, Paolo Gabriele, was convicted Saturday of aggravated theft for leaking confidential papal documents and sentenced to 18 month ...

When I was a teen, I bought into the bullshit that is Qi (sometimes spelled 'chi'). I couldn't help it: if you've ever watched the Shaolin Monks do their thing, you might understand why I thought their impressive physical feats were only made possible because of some superhuman element. Fueled by the mythology of comic book heroes, I desperately wanted it to be true (which I was to later learn is the first ...

And the mother of the year award goes to... Christian fundamentalist Julia Lovemore, 41, killed daughter Faith by stuffing her mouth with paper then dousing her in white spirit and jumping up and down on her body. She also poured wine all over her young daughter as well, before her husband finally showed up at the hospital with her dead baby in hand. So, were there any signs that she was going to do somethi ...
