The Skeptics Dictionary (http://skepdic.com/)
Quackwatch (http://www.quackwatch.org/)
The National Centre for Science Education (http://www2.ncseweb.org/wp/)
Talk Origins (http://www.talkorigins.org/)
Here are some Skeptic blogs as well, you can find a lot of useful stuff there :)

General skepticism and US politics The 2 percent Company (http://www.twopercentco.com/) (often contains language NSFW)
Medical Bad Science (http://badscience.net/)
Medical and creationist Respectful Insolence (http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/)

Mainly Anti vax The millenium project (http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/)
Biology and creationism Pandas thumb (http://www.pandasthumb.org/)

And finally some dedicated sites that most people can use for medical references

Net Doctor (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/)
The British National Formulary (http://www.bnf.org/) free registration, has some info but you really need the book for it to make sense (most libraries will have a copy)
Monthly Index of Medical Specialities (http://www.emims.net/) Has a limited free trial. Use it wisely
Chemist and Druggist magazine (http://www.dotpharmacy.com/index2.html) Pharmacy articles
NHS Hitting the Headlines (http://www.nelh.nhs.uk/hth/archive.asp) Details accuracy of recent media stories

Forgot one and the time on the last post had expired :(

The PJ (http://www.pjonline.com/). Journal for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain

[Admin]

The edit time?

I can probably alter that - somewhere....

If we get a good list of links, I'll tidy it all up anyway. O0

[Jocky]

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ has complete texts of the Bible, the Quran and the Book of Mormom with some interesting analysis (not all of which I agree with, I have to say)

Can be very useful if engaged in debate with literally-minded religious types - or even if you're just looking for some mud to sling >:D

[Mojo]

Mainly Anti vax The millenium project (http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/)There's more to it than anti-vax, and don't forget the companion site The Green Light (http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/gl/), linking to sites providing good information. The Millenium Project was set up to "name and shame" sites providing bad info, or as Peter Bowditch puts it "This web site is devoted to the millenium of sites which don't deserve a place on the Web. We are not putting them on a pedestal - we are offering them a stool."

[Mojo]

A good site for stuff about homeopathy: The British Veterinary Voodoo Society (http://www.vetpath.co.uk/voodoo/index.html): Aimed at vets, but the four articles at the top of internal links are very good about homoeopathy generally. Oh, and the "Complaints Department"!

Bandolier (http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/): "Evidence based thinking about health care".

[Mongrel]

Another one if you can read medical papers

Pubmed (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/) "...free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature."

and whilst not a resource in of itself Bugmenot (http://www.bugmenot.com/) has a large database of Usernames and Passwords for registration sites (nearly all for the annoying free e-mail culling ones it has the occassional paid access). If you use Firefox an extension is available here (http://roachfiend.com/archives/2005/02/07/bugmenot/) that puts it in the toolbar and context menu as well

I've just set up Google's new Alerts service at http://www.google.com/alerts to email me once a day with any news stories that mention astrology or homeopathy.

It could be a useful tool to keep track of paranormal news stories.

Here's a lovely story about how science works from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4950876.stm

BadPsychics.co.uk (http://www.badpsychics.co.uk)

This is my site, crosses the gap somewhat between the fun sites and the more serious sites like this one.

This is a nice little paper, it nicely shreds rebutts the sometimes heard claim that "Only 20% of Western Medicine has been clinically tested....<insert tu quoque argument>"
