Amy Differ from Elk Grove, California, inquires about what she heard other mothers saying in a waiting room. “I was shocked to hear that many of them take their children to chiropractors and even have newborns adjusted for supposed misalignment that happens at birth! Have you heard about this? How dangerous is this? Have you heard anything about chiropractic therapy for autism?”

Longtime friend of the JREF Tony Youen reports:
Perhaps if you get the chance you could publicize Tim Minchin (www.timminchin.com). I saw his show last night in Derby. Apart from being extremely talented and funny he uses a lot of skeptic material in his act. I understand he's a member of Australian Skeptics. Highly recommended to all skeptics in the UK.
I have to say, if you do nothing else.. LOOK AT HIS SITE! It's fantastic. And it appears that he'll be touring the UK for quite some time, so if you're in the area, give him a look!

Well, apparently a reader named “Adriana” did, but she didn’t look around much to find any before she paid up. Her letter:
I am writing to add some more proof to your claim that Sylvia Browne and her possy are con artists. I only want to describe my story so you will see that Chris [Dufresne] is not able to see the future and I am trying to open as many eyes as I can.

Swift Reader Jeff McVann sends us:
I went to Wired Magazine's NEXTFEST in Chicago last weekend. There was
plenty of cool and useful technology to be seen, but I was very
disappointed to see the "Hoverit Lounger." It is a plastic chair with
magnets that make it "float." A picture can be found here:

Price? $11,000!!!
They say a fool and his money are soon parted. Only a fool would buy this chair.
Keep up the good work!
