The article not only presents these organizations as full of shit, it highlights the absolute stupidity of almost all applications of hypnosis.</p>

<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="hypnotherapy_cat.jpg" src="http://scienceblogs.com/omnibrain/hypnotherapy_cat.jpg" width="239" height="225" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" /></span>Here's the details:<br />
<blockquote>Chris Jackson, presenter of Inside Out in the North East and Cumbria, registered pet George with three industry bodies.</p>

<p>Each one accepted a certificate from the non-existent Society of Certified Advanced Mind Therapists as proof of George's credentials.</p>

<p>It follows a similar investigation by an American clinical psychologist.</p>

<p>Dr Steve Eichel suspected industry bodies in the US were not running checks on their members.</p>

<p>He said: "I felt I'd test my hypothesis and I did that by getting my cat certified by a number of the most prominent lay hypnosis organisations in the United States. It was a frighteningly simple process."</p>

<p>In the UK, George was registered with the British Board of Neuro Linguistic Programming (BBNLP), the United Fellowship of Hypnotherapists (UFH) and the Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association (PHPA). </blockquote></p>

<blockquote>In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams' head, which had been severed and frozen for storage, was abused at the facility. Johnson claims a technician took baseball-like swings at Williams' frozen head with a monkey wrench.</blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>I've written before about the various ways of telling whether someone is gay by things like their <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/omnibrain/2007/05/sexual_orientation_and_finger.php">finger</a> length.  Now it seems that there is a new way to tell if someone is gay.  If you're a guy and you are looking at the top of another guys head who is currently performing oral sex on you - you can be 30% sure if he's gay or not according to this <a href="http://www.ias.ac.in/jgenet/Vol83No3/251.pdf">study</a>.</p>

<p>Check out the abstract (I absolutely LOVE the introducing statement):<br />
<blockquote>While most men prefer women as their sexual partners, some are bisexual and others are homosexuals. It has been debated for a long time whether a person's sexual preference is innate, learned, or due to a combination of both causes.<br />
It was recently discovered that the human right-versus-left-hand use preference and the direction of scalp hair-whorl rotation develop from a common genetic mechanism. Such a mechanism controls functional specialization of brain hemispheres. Whether the same mechanism specifying mental makeup influences sexual preference was determined here by comparing hair-whorl rotation in groups enriched with homosexual men with that in males at large. Only a minority of 8.2% (n = 207) unselected 'control' group of males had counterclockwise rotation. In contrast, all three samples enriched with homosexual men exhibited highly significant (P < 0.0001), 3.6-fold excess (29.8%, n = 272) counterclockwise rotation. These results suggest that sexual preference may be influenced in a significant proportion of homosexual men by a biological/genetic factor that also controls direction of hair-whorl rotation. </blockquote></p>

<p>Now what would this hair swirl exactly look like so you can be an informed citizen?  Here's the culprit.  Be on the look out for this person who may be homosexual (or more likely not homosexual).</p>
