How? and Why?

International Skeptics Day

(But… is this the right date?)

To further encourage people to be

 more sceptic today,

the creators of this day

were a little unspecific about

the actual day to celebrate.

 There are three choices:

October 13^th, January 13^th

or the first Friday 13^th

of the year.

So, what is a sceptic?

A non-believer…

They doubt facts and theories.

They are not sheep,

who blindly follow along

and accept everything

they see and hear…

they question.

They doubt.

They’re sceptic.

(Sceptic is a funny word to say!)

I guess,

the Cow is not very sceptic…

how many ridiculously crazy days

get written about by the Cow?

Days I laugh at,

but blog about anyway!

But… in my defence…

I usually check out about four pages

(unless the page looks super official!)

before coming up with my information!

Just believing one page

 is seldom enough…

I want more proof!

I want more evidence!

Is that not being sceptic?

And… you’ll notice (perhaps)

that while today is

International Skeptics Day

I have constantly used a C,

 not a K to spell sceptic.

 (Again, three dictionary sources

 before I accepted that the C

is the Australian version

of the spelling!)

 So, while I am willing to accept

strange and weird information,

I still remain a sceptic

to my very bones!

Some ideas to ponder and

be sceptic or skeptic about today:

Did they really go to the moon

and if so, why has this

never been done again,

given the immensely significant

improvements to technology?

This should be a walk in the park

(or a walk in space)

for our astronauts now!

Are there extra-terrestrial beings?

Has anyone really been abducted?

Is eating an apple a day

 really that good for you?

Do vampires really exist?

And, is the Cow a credible source?

You tell me!
