Last week, Ian tried to make a mountain out of a molehill with the story of 616 being the possible "true" number of the devil. This week, he's got John Abramson, M.D on to talk about Vioxx in the first hour. Sounds boring.

Two words : Got Punnett ?

I wonder if Ian will recognize that he was the subject of this week's Grey Matters from Lesley @ BoA (HERE). Perhaps he'll slip in some clue and let us know he is stalking us.

Ian references "tasty Canadians", a hilarious throwback to last week.

Ian is previewing Riley Martin. Ian says he's been called a "great conversation partner", which sounds rather ... well, you know. Ian wants to know "why him ?"

Ian is hella predictable as usual and we go to ...

Lesley brings us a look inside the almost secret world of Ufology's UFO Updates, a place where Ufologists go to duke it out over various theories. She takes us saucer side and gives us the lo down on what is UFO Updates and why it is a staple of many in the field of Ufology. That's Tuesday @ binnallofamerica.com.

While you wait, stop over to Lesley's blog : The Debris Field. It's critically acclaimed for a reason, because it's awesome.

Ian says last week's edition of C2C generated the most e-mail of any addition of C2C he's done.

News :

Milk may be bad for teenagers complexion. Apparently this was touched on by last week's guest.

Earth's magnetic north may not be where it is supposed to be. It is drifting towards Siberia. Canada may lose Northern Lights, that sucks.

Ian speculates that it may be a precursor to a "pole shift".

Lots of snow on the East coast. No sh*t, Ian. Some glaciers are moving and moving some serious distance. I didn't realize glaciers move so much.

Some glacier in Alaska, that is the size of Los Angeles, is past halfway melted. Wow.

New ocean basin may be found. Very aquatic news this week from Punnett.

Russian mountain climber is going to Mt. Ararat, looking for Noah's Ark. He says he has some mystery unraveling news. Ian poo poos it.

Ian claims that the big thing in relics for a while was "Jesus's foreskin". Ugh. He says that some churches in Europe claim to still have it. He makes a crass snufalufagus joke here that surely dooms him to hell.

Something about nanotechnology made metal or something. I think Ian mispronounced Noory's name here which is kind of hilarious.

RFID story. Bo-ring.

Judges denying cell phone tracking information to some prosecutors.

Man who robbed New Zealand bank tries again via phone. Man ends up getting caught.

Dr. John Abramson pops in right now. Stunning. Barely any build.

Ian wants info on this Vioxx story. I don't.

Dr. John says that this new story about Vioxx and the Vioxx saga, in general, shows the problems with the pharmaceutical industry.

Ian understands why a company would want to "juice their results", but why did the New England Journal of Medicine do so as well ?

Abramson says that's why he left the pharma industry. The journals are dependent on pharma advertising. Uh oh. He says the editor of the British medical journal of record said that the pharmaceutical companies buy reprints of positive articles. Hmm.

Ian asks how much they are making and if we have access to that data. Great question from Ian, nicely phrased as well.

Abramson says that non-profit organizations are acting like for-profit organizations. He says doctors are trained to trust the journals, but they are really producing "infomercials".

Ian asks who broke the story that NE Journal of Medicine overlooked Vioxx information. Abramson takes credit for that. Who is he, Hoagland ?

Ian wants to know if NE JoM retorted with a "my bad" to ignoring Vioxx data.

Abramson says one of the NE JoM editors was deposed in the recent Vioxx article and Ian lets out an intrigued "Aaah" that sounded like a woman watching a soap opera. Classic.

That's it for Abramson. Short but sweet pop-in from Abramson and not painful at all.

E-mail and open lines coming up after Ian plays the theme song to Martha Stewart's Apprentice, "Sweet Dreams". That goes well with his "Aaah" from a few moments ago.

Adam Gorightly dug deep into the Kerry Thornley story and brings us the goods this week, with the second part of Gorightly's appearance on BoA : Audio, Season One. It's an hour and twenty minutes of conspiracy insanity and it's available now @ binnallofamerica.com

And, coming this Thursday to BoA, it's Trickster's Realm with R.Lee. R.Lee is a myterious, but infinitely talented student of esoterica and she'll bring her one-of-a-kind perspective to BoA with the debut edition of "Trickster's Realm". Until then, find out more about R.Lee @ her blog here : ufobits.blogspot.com.

Ian tries to continue his streak of mid-show bumper music gems with some awful adult lite song I've never even heard before, because I'm not a forty something woman. Deep voice guy adds a much needed does of testosterone with the numbers for calls.

Ian says lots of e-mail from last week's show. I wonder if Yamguy contacted Ian again. I may have to put him on the case, since Punnett dissed theusofe.com a few weeks ago.

Ian says he's 200 e-mails behind. Wow. I guess he's getting a lot of e-mail about the 11.19 episode of C2C for some reason.

E-mail re: pasteurized milk conspiracy

E-mail re: Becoming Vegan.

E-mail re: Some dude who doesn't like soy milk. Hazelnut milk ? Ugh.

E-mail re: Some dude who fought cancer via changing his diet.

E-mail re: Stuff being fed to livestock and plant fertilizer. Geez. Talk about depressing.

E-mail re: Captain Sweeney, the egomaniac pirate expert. Some dude managed to get a signed book from Sweeney. No word if this e-mail was written by Captain Sweeney himself.

E-mail re: Dr. Judith Orloff wrote in to wish everyone a happy holidays.

E-mail re: Dude who listens to C2C at work.

E-mail re: A quotation about pigs and voting or something silly.

The weather is frightful, but the goods delivered from our friend Khyron are delightful. Yes, the K-Man emerges from the shadows each week to bring us "The K-Files", his weekly perusal of all things esoteric circulating the wires. If you haven't seen it yet, you must check out the all new look for the K-Files @ BoA or khyron.net.

Speaking of which, Khyron is rocking out some serious coverage of the XBox 360 as only a hardcore gamer like Khyron can. Not to mention movie reviews and game reviews for other platforms and other great observations from the man they call Khyron. Check all that out here : (www.khyron.net)

Caller re: Contrails

Ian tries to explain contrails, but this dude doesn't seem to buy it. Ian doesn't buy it either and his "pilot friends" don't buy it either. Well, ooh la la, Mr. Punnett.

Caller craps all over "other people" for their news stories. Not sure if that is a Noory shot or not.

Caller re: Dude who called in to Art's December prediction show. #61, Tsunami that will take out Space Needle in Seattle. Ed Dames said there will be a tsunami will hit Seattle. Now we know it won't happen. Caller says "I saw it, before he did." I wouldn't be bragging about that one, buddy.

Ian says he won't be on the 31st, therefore giving SNP a night off in 3 weeks, thank God.

Caller re: Sylvia wants to take us to the pharmaceutical industry. She's an expert in epidemic diseases. She's part Native American. Get to the point, Sylvia. She plugs her book, ugh.

Ian wants her theory and she says it all hangs on ... high fructose corn sugar. And it is part of some kind of war against minorities. Ian cuts her off.

Caller re: He has suggestions for Ian. Organic Bison. You heard it, baby. In Bison, the flavor is in the meat and not in the fat. Sounds interesting.

Ian says it was turning into "Open Plug America". No kidding. Ian plugs Riley Martin next as we wrap up this week's SNP.

Pretty good stuff. A tad run-of-the-mill, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
