Quacking Up
The New Statesman features a full-page advertorial, as I am told that these things are called, for homeopathy. And why not? Next year's Nobel Prize for Medicine should be awarded to a homeopath. Extremely rarely, someone on a course of homeopathy gets better, because they would have got better anyway. And extremely rarely, someone on a course of IVF gets pregnant, because they would have got pregnant anyway.

Some years ago a chemist's shop in my town had some new (large) windows installed. One window advertised homoeopathy services. Three days later it was smashed in. Apparently, the perpetrator misunderstood which services were being offered. No further comment needed.
