International Skeptics Day When : January 13th, or October 13th or
first Friday the 13th of the year International Skeptics Day is the
perfect day for you...the "doubting Thomas". Perhaps the earth
isn't really round!? Maybe, the sky isn't truely blue!? Does
he(she) really love me!? ........These are the words and questions
of the classical skeptic. By definition, a skeptic is a person who
questions or doubts facts and theories. He, or she, is a
mis-believer. A skeptic does not accept the "Given". If you are
inclined to doubt things that you see or hear, then International
Skeptics Day is for you. If you practice a little, I'm sure we can
make a good skeptic out of you. Go ahead, give it a try. And, what
better day to practice skepticism, than International Skeptics Day?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Origin of International Skeptics Day: We suspect that a real
skeptic created this day. And, they did so by first creating doubt
about the date to celebrate this special day. We found three dates:
January 13th, October 13th, and the first Friday of the year. While
Friday the 13th sounds intriguing, we have our doubts.......... We
encourage you to celebrate skeptics and skeptical behavior on all
three dates! There is some reference to this as an "International"
day. True, there are skeptics organizations all over the world.
However, we found no documentation of this day being celebrated
anywhere outside of the U.S.
