Dan Brown, The Secret, and the "What the Bleep" drinking game

Popdose is nominally about pop culture: music, movies, and whatnot. But in a post about Dan Brown's book The Lost Symbol, Jack Feerick had a go at all sorts of woo.

I'll only quote the What the (bleep) Do We Know? drinking game
  • Every time someone says something evasive, take a drink.
  • Every time someone takes an unjustifiable leap of logic, take ten drinks. Just because.
  • Every time Marlee Matlin sighs, take a drink.
  • Every time an unsourced anecdote is presented as fact, claim to take a drink.
  • Every time the words “QUANTUM PHYSICS!” are uttered, take a drink and do not take a drink, simultaneously.
  • Every time someone says “We can’t explain it,” or some variation thereof, take a drink.
  • Any time somebody actually explains something… never mind, it won’t happen.
  • Any time somebody proposes a violation of Newtonian physics, untake a drink.

(You might want to have a priest and an ambulance handy.)

because you should really go read the whole thing.
