    So…this makes me think of a clip I watched a bit ago from “Penn and Teller: Bullshit!”

    It was from their “Endangered Species” episode. It was really just Patrick Moore (ex-Greenpeace man) stating that biodiversity is higher than it’s ever been (without citing anything…you know, like there’s anything to cite) and that there’s no mass extinction going on at all.

    Crazy, huh?

    One of the things I love about Bullshit! is that Penn comes right out and says “[Penn and Teller] are just as full of Bullshit as everyone else.”
