This ACSH Christmas ditty from 2002 may -- may -- warrant reposting:
Death befalls a bout of folly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
So try to reason well, by golly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don't assume each thing's a peril,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Or fear will have you o'er a barrel,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the raging fools before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
With their theories rather porous,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow quacks and get no pleasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Or sue big companies for their treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Dead away a cohort passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Blame it on industrial gasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we skeptics, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the media blather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
