Penn Jilette Podcast
There are two (count 'em) Penn Jilette podcasts on iTunes (possibly duplicates of the same freefm.com show). I'm listening to my first one and already he's won me over.
"There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, for when they placed it on his head he began to dance around."
"Correlation is not causation!" That should be a line in Frosty the Snowman. "There could possibly be some magic in the old silk hat they found."
There is no awareness of Occam's Razor in "Frosty the Snowman". Magic is not the answer. A snowman is standing up, running around, and dancing! Frozen water is dancing! First you scream - that is a nightmare! Fall to your knees crying and kiss your ass goodbye! There is no joy for these children - there would just be a ring of yellow snow around Frosty.
Why would you assume that there was magic in the old silk hat? Has there ever been magic in any other old silk hat? This is the problem with the deductive reasoning that we teach our children. Frosty is responsible for the craziness happening in our society today.
