Oops. :D

Something else significant happened that year, just can't quite recall what it was at the moment. :whistle:

The finest evidence money can buy. :woot:

I've never seen such projection as that from the PACEophiles. Quite extraordinary stuff.

Cognitive Behavourial Totalitarianism.

"Thanks so much, @profmsharpe! Your absurd demand for retraction has brought a surge of renewed interest in my 2016 piece explaining the flaws in your research." Oops. :rolleyes: :D

I use the lesser known Black Rice Pudding Therapy (BLARPUT). Improves my mood, I can tell you, as long as I stay off the scales.
