Every time I pick up a book by Deepak Chopra, I become irritated. Every page is full of nonsensical and factually incorrect blather. So it's encouraging to see him so well and thoroughly skewered:

http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/10/deepak_chopra_does_it_again.php

http://pharyngula.org/index/weblog/comments/moonbat_anti_evolutionist_deepak_chopra/

Gods, I hate the misappropriation of science by bullshit new-age prophets. So much so that it's fairly obvious this is an irrational ego issue that does little more than drag me down. I mean, why should I care what he writes when half of America doesn't believe in evolution anyway? But I sure do enjoy it when others take up the cause of defending science from the gadflies. Saves me the trouble of doing it myself.

I've learned something today.

Gee, I didn't know you were a masochist.

Like you wouldn't believe. It's like a car accident, I can't stop myself from looking.
