What is CKL?
"I heard a County Kerry farmer interviewed on Irish Radio, ... and they asked him, "Do you believe in the Pookah yourself?" And he said, "That I do not! and I doubt much that he beleives in me either!"
~ Robert Anton Wilson
CKL is the blog of Bill Trumpler, raconteur, gadfly, individualist, skeptic, hayseed philosopher, terrible poet, prankster, and martial artist.
What you'll find here: Writings on the lost art of manliness, skepticism, grasping the universe as it really is, and science as a candle in the dark.
