Edenist*
I’m on a roll, folks, but I do think this is one of my better ones. What sort of occupation to you suppose an Edenist is?
*A giant tooth icon seen from the side + Dentist. I had to drive up and look at it face on before I knew what it was.

Random quote of the day:
“Skepticism or debunking often receives the bad rap reserved for activities—like garbage disposal—that absolutely must be done for a safe and sane life, but seem either unglamorous or unworthy of overt celebration….Proper debunking is done in the interest of an alternate model of explanation, not as a nihilistic exercise. The alternate model is rationality itself, tied to moral decency—the most powerful joint instrument for good that our planet has ever known.”
—Stephen Jay Gould, Forward to Why People Believe Weird Things by Michael Shermer
