I say, was that test double-blind?

Stumbled over a blog called Skeptico. Surprisingly, it’s a skeptic’s blog, meaning that it discusses dubious topics like astrology, psychic ability, magig/religious healing and other phenomena that, if true, can’t be explained by the body of knowledge and method known affectionately as modern western science. The assumption of the blog, of course, is that the scientific method of western science holds and is a valid framework to test said phenomena in, even if the body of knowledge doesn’t (yet) contain evidence for paranormality. Looks like good stuff. Have a look at The Astrology Challenge, for a start.
