Yeti

Yeti, sometimes called the Abominable Snowman, is a bipedal ape-like cryptid said to inhabit the Himalayas. It is in a class of semi-fictitious beasts we share our planet with, one of several that are ape-like and usually very large compared to humans. The Yeti is typical of the Himalayan region. Its brown-furred relatives are usually found in remote, inaccessible areas on most of the other continents. Some people claim that the Yeti is a descendant of Gigantopithecus. The fact that Gigantopithecus probably did live in the Himalayas doesn't prove that the Yeti exists, only that there is a place for it in the evolutionary tree if substantial evidence of its existence is found.
Some have proposed that, in the distant past, someone in the region happened upon a largely intact Gigantopithecus skeleton. Not understanding fossilization, they mistook it for the corpse of an extant species and the legend grew from there.
Other such creatures would include the Loch Ness Monster Nessiteras rhombopterix, sasskwach saskvach (oh to hell with it), and the Great Gay Conspiracy Agenda.
Unlike aliens, they are indigenous to this planet (if they exist).
SubGenius mythology maintains that the SubGenii (or "Yetinsyn") are a cross between humans and Yeti.
Those who know better realize that the yeti is just a goat, bear, or yak."Yeti hairs belong to goat", BBC
 News, 13 October 2008
==Evidence==
Stories of these elusive snow monsters are found in the folklore of various Himalayan people. Amongst westerners, sightings, alleged artifacts, and attempts to find and/or capture the Yeti have been popular since at least the 19th century. In addition to general pop-cultural interest, papers such as the Daily Mail have launched expeditions to find the creatures,Daily Mail article about their 1954 expedition and several mountaineers and explorers have taken photos of footprints allegedly belonging to the Yeti.
However compelling one might find hair samples, footprints, and the like, new studies show that there is a more reasonable explanation than assuming the existence of a yet-undiscovered cryptid. The footprints, for example, most likely belong to a local species of "tree bear" with a semi-opposable inner digit evolved to grip tree branches."Meet Yeti, the so-called abominable snowman that science yet again says is just a bear", CBC News, 28 November 2017

Yogic flying

Yogic flying is, we are told, a "natural extension of Transcendental Meditation".
According to Yogic Flying Clubs for Students:Yogic Flying Clubs for Students
It is otherwise known as bouncing on your buttocks.Yogic Flying by Nat GeoYogic Flying Competition by Amit Singh Yes, really.
==World peace==
The benefits of yogic flying are, it seems, not limited to students. According to the same source, when sufficiently large numbers of people practice yogic flying, other effects appear:
==Levels==
It is claimed that there are three levels to yogic flying. The initial stage is bouncing up and down on one's bottom in the lotus position; the second stage is floating; and the final stage really is flying.Personal experience of yogic flying Yes, you too can learn to fly!yes, honestly, flyThe trick is, perhaps, to throw the ground at your arse and miss?
==Cutting edge science==
This is no mystical "woo", but real science as can be seen from this quote:Fundamentals of Invincibility
So no quantum woo or technobabble here, folks! No sir!Just confusion between the Heisenberg principle and the Planck relation.
=== The pictures prove it! ===
You've probably seen pictures of Yogic flying in action, like the one shown at the top of this page.
You'll notice there's a lack of videos demonstrating Yogic flying past the hopping stage, though. This is because the still photos are snapped at the moment the practitioner happens to be in mid-air in the middle of one of his butt bounces. He's not hovering, he's falling.
August 9th, 2022 update: In the year of our Lord 2021, a video of the final stage has finally emerged on the Information Superhighway. Haters will say it's fake.

Yoni

Yoni is a SanskritSanskrit being the liturgical language of Hinduism. word for the female genitalia, and can also mean “womb” or “source” and also “vulva,” “life,” “nest,” and even “caste” and “race.”
==In Hinduism==
The yoni is the symbol of the goddess Shakti or Devi. In many Indian and Hindu cultures it is worshiped in conjunction with the liṇga the emblem of the god, particularly Śiva. Small models of the joined liṇga and yoni are found in all parts of India. Worship of the yoni is believed to have begun in the pre-Vedic period in India, about 4000 BCE or earlier.Although new discoveries at Harappa suggest the practice might be far older and continues to be worshiped today, specifically at the Kamakhya Temple.
Archaeological evidence in India have found at least one story in which Śiva takes the form of a buffalo and is mistakenly sacrificed to the goddess and reborn from her yoni. In southern India there are numerous places where stones with clefts are worshipped as the goddess' yoni. A symbol of the yoni is the triangle, another from yoga, is the paired hands, in the form of that triangle.
==In alternative medicine==
Yoni steaming (in which a woman's vagina is steamed) is a modern infusion of yoni myth into alternative medicine.

Your Logical Fallacy Is

Your Logical Fallacy Is (YLFI) is a website detailing 24 logical fallacies. The page was constructed by Jesse Richardson, an "ad guy", who attempted to make all of the fallacies as simple as possible.https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/faq
==Ad hominem entry==
YLFI:http://www.yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem
The entry on ad hominem on YLFI fails to adequately explain what does not count as an ad hominem. Ad hominem isn't just being abusive or mean, it is saying that the person is wrong because of the purported negative characteristic that you attribute to them.
Creationists, for instance, aren't wrong because they are idiots. They are wrong because the evidence doesn't support their point of view. The fact that they persist in believing their point of view in spite of the evidence may be good cause for saying that they are idiots, though. That isn't ad hominem.
Saying "this guy is a wifebeater!" isn't an ad hominem (no, not even if he’s not actually a wifebeater). Saying "you shouldn't believe what this man says about quantum physics because he is a wifebeater" is. See: Argumentum ad hominem § Not ad hom.

Your Origins Matter

Your Origins Matter is a conference<capture>Information for the 2012 Your Origins Matter conference.</capture> and blog<capture>youroriginsmatter.com</capture> run by the Institute for Creation Research, beginning in June of 2012. The effort is directed by Lalo Gunther,<capture>ICR Debuts YOM Conference in Dallas, ICR News, Jun 5 2012.</capture> the ICR's Director of Online Community and Conference Ministries, who specialises in "Youth Ministry."<capture>Speaker page for Lalo Gunther.</capture>
==2012 conference==
The 2012 conference in Dallas, Texas, was held on June 2 at the local First Baptist Church.Here. The speakers were Henry Morris III, Jason Lisle, Nathaniel Jeanson, and Randy Guliuzza, along with former astronaut Colonel Jeffrey Williams. The latter individual was apparently involved only to give the event an aura of legitimacy, and to present pretty pictures, while other scholarly topics included the irreducible complexity of the cell and the design of the cosmos.
Pre-con advertising included a June Acts & Facts magazine — the ICR's monthly newsletter — almost entirely devoted to the subject of the meeting,The June 2012 edition of Acts & Facts. and a bizarre video advertisement involving some kind of monkey doing creation-related "research" by briefly glancing at the covers of a number of evolution-related books before tossing them aside.The video in question.
==Blog==
Announced at the conference was a Your Origins Matter website, adding to the ICR's growing multi-media empire. The blog was announced as a platform for "conversation" and "tools to dig deeper into the study of origins," though many posts consist simply of effectively regurgitated articles from Brian Thomas et al, modified for discussion purposes via the effective removal of the already limited science content. Videos, including interviews with ICR members, have been known to also appear.Interview of Nathaniel Jeanson, 31 May 2013.
Information about the site's commenting policy can only be determined from the comments that do and do not get through: with increasingly rare exceptions, it's "sycophants only."

Yucca Mountain

Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is a fantastically expensiveWorld Nuclear News — Yucca Mountain cost estimate rises to $96 billion hole in the ground which was intended to be used as United States' primary civilian nuclear waste storage facility. It is located near the Nevada Test Site, which is already contaminated with radioactive materials due to being the location of many atmospheric and underground nuclear weapon tests. The construction of Yucca Mountain has been held up for decadeshttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3072031/ns/us_news-only_on_msnbccom/ by hippie treehugger scum Nevada residents who are not amused by the previous nuclear-related activity of the U.S. federal government in their state. The potential repository was also the frequent target of the anti-nuclear movement.
During debate over its creation, legislators in the state of Nevada had become so infuriated by the Yucca Mountain site that, in 1987, they created "Bullfrog County," an uninhabited 144 mi2 area around the site which they designated a county, even though the area had no roads, no buildings of any kind, and barely any life at all. The only thing it did have was a property tax rate of 20%, or $5 of every $100 valued, the highest allowed by the state's constitution. The thinking went that were the waste site to be constructed, the federal government would be stuck with a yearly bill of $25 million directly to the state government.Bullfrog County, Nev., (Pop. 0) Fights Growth, New York Times, 08/30/1987 Apparently no one in the state government knew about Supremacy Clause (Article 6) in the United States Constitution: this is why the US government never pays state taxes. Unsurprisingly, this rather kooky scheme failed; the site was built anyway, and Bullfrog County was declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court a year later.Bullfrog, Nevada: Empty County to Croak Unless It Goes to Waste, Los Angeles Times, 09/02/1987
Barack Obama declared in 2009 that the Yucca Mountain repository plan would be abandoned, mainly as a political deal between Obama and Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada). However, it appears that the Department of Energy is not allowed to change its waste disposal plan at will due to legal reasons.World Nuclear News — DoE told to finish the job at Yucca Mountain The future of the repository is still uncertain, but any substantial progress appears unlikely. Alternative solutions, such as long term above ground storage, reprocessing, and burning the waste in fast reactors are being investigated. As of February 2015, the new chair of the Senate energy panel, Lamar Alexander, is hoping to resurrect the project.New Senate chairman vows push on nuke waste, Yucca

Yukihisa Fujita

Yukihisa Fujita is a member of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) in the House of Councillors and a 9/11 Truther. Before kicking off his Truther career, he was most known for getting an admission from Prime Minister Taro Aso that his family's mining company, Aso Mining, had used Australian and American POWs as forced labor during World War II.Yukihisa Fujita (trans. William Underwood). Aso Mining's Indelible Past. The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 16-4-09, April 19, 2009
In 2008, he decided to go off the deep end and on a 9/11 "truth" tour. He made a presentation to the National Diet of Japan demanding his fellow Councillors question the official story.Fujita questions 9/11 Fujita repeated a number of long debunked Trutherisms, mostly about the World Trade Center 7 building and the "suspicious" wreckage at the Pentagon. He then whined about being called a conspiracy theorist but later co-authored a book called Seeking 9/11 Truth at Japan's Parliament with notorious Truther David Ray Griffin and appeared on Alex Jones.Fujita on Jones
In an interview, Fujita claimed that his initial doubts were raised by internet videos such as Loose Change,John Spiri. Lawmaker Takes 9/11 Doubts Global. Japan Times, Jun. 17 2008 which should give you a hint as to his credibility.

Yuppie

Yuppie is short for "Young Urban Professional," or Young Upwardly Mobile Professional (used less often), a phrase that cropped up after World War II. It can be traced in reference back to 1968, when the baby boomers were graduating while businesses expanded globally and were in desperate need of educated professionals. However, it came to more general acceptance in the 1980s with the Asian tigers and market expansion till the crash of 1987.
After the 1980's it has been assigned as a primarily derogatory term for smug, overpaid, too quickly promoted college graduates to early 30's professionals. It is quickly associated with those who ride the bubbles of the economy, or those who live outlandishly lavish lifestyles while young. Mostly used as an easier way to say "smug greedy a-hole with money."
It became a very bandied-about term following the 2007 economic crash and 2008 presidential election,Specifically targeting Barack Obama, thought this is a bit problematic as he was older than Teddy Roosevelt, JFK, Bill Clinton and Ulysses S. Grant when he was inaugurated and had roughly the same amount of political and legal experience as Abraham Lincoln beforehand. thrown about with abandon by those in "Real America" (aka Main StreetAnd this is while a Cloth coat Republican hasn't been in the Oval Office for over half a century. or Jesusland) at those outside of it. It is typically aimed at most anyone who works in a white collar job, lives in/near a major city, has an education, has a decent amount of money in the bank, or is a banker/works on Wall Street/deals with finance of any sort.
It's still the alternative to stereotyping middle class liberals as broke dirty hippies, or ultra rich limousine liberals. Ironically, a lot of young urban conservatives fit the stereotype even better.

Yuri Kochiyama

Yuri Kochiyama (1921-2014) was a Japanese-American political activist. During World War II, Kochiyama's father, a fish merchant, was questioned by the FBI for his allegedly suspicious photographs of shipping vessels, and died in police custody due to negligence of his medical requirements. The rest of her family was subsequently sent to an internment camp along with the other Japanese-Americans, where she met her future husband. After the war ended, Kochiyama and her husband moved to Harlem, New York, where they had six children. Kochiyama became involved in the civil rights movement, where she met and befriended Malcolm X. She became dedicated to Malcolm's advocacy of African-American nationalism, being one of the few non-African-Americans involved heavily in the black nationalist movement. She was present at Malcolm's assassination; a photograph of her holding his body became widely circulated. 
Kochiyama remained an activist and came to support Maoism, creating her own theories which blended it with Malcolm's ideology. To this end, her beliefs at this point in time could be understood as a precursor to the Black Panther Party. She also became a leading figure in the Asian-American civil rights movement and was integral to the Commission On Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, which granted reparations to families held in camps during World War II. She also campaigned against the Vietnam War and for nuclear disarmament. She converted to Sunni Islam secretly in the early 1970s, and worked with controversial ex-Black Panthers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Most controversially, she worked with the Peruvian Maoist group Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso), considered by most to have been nothing more than a drug cartel with a fetish for communist imagery. She seemed to have become something of an Islamist later in life, supporting Al-Qaeda and comparing Osama bin Laden to Malcolm X. She remains a controversial figure in American history and left-wing discussion, with many seeing her "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality as dangerous, in particular relation to her comments on bin Laden. In short, Kochiyama was often supportive of violent ultra-nationalism so long as it presented itself in an "anti-Western" form.

Z Budapest

Zsuzsanna Emese Mokcsay, better known as Z Budapest (b. 1940) is a Hungarian-American neopagan and lesbian radical feminist. She founded the first women-only coven.Fittingly named the Susan B. Anthony coven. In 1975, she gained the dubious honor of being the last person to actually be tried for and convicted of witchcraft in the United States.Z Budapest on Blog Talk RadioThe Last Great American Witch Trial Witch Trial (Archived from the original on 2 January 2014)
==Dianic Wicca==
Z Budapest was at the forefront of the women's spirituality movement, developing her own form of Wicca, known as Dianic Wicca, that discarded the more heteronormative aspects of Gardnerian Wicca, rejecting dualism in favour of straightforward Goddess worship. Budapest's own website makes no mention of the Gardnerian connection, claiming to follow traditions passed down from her mother.http://www.zbudapest.com/about-z-budapest.html However, how original this "family tradition" is must be debatable, as her manifesto admits: "I know enough to begin it. The rest of it, we have to invent."http://dianic-wicca.com/dianic-witch-manifesto.html
==Transphobia==
Reflecting some strands of radical feminism, Z Budapest seems to have a problem with transgender people. To describe transgender people, Budapest uses the pejorative term "transies", much like the same derogatory context "pansies" is used to describe gay males.Pantheacon 2012: Here we go again...ODPS: Gay Slang Dictionary After an incident in 2011 when a group of transgender women were excluded from a women-only ritual at an ecumenical neopagan conferenceSee Gender and transgender in modern paganism, collected in response to the incident Budapest came out in support of the ritual organizers, claiming that trans women are men trying to undermine the efforts of "real" women to have their own spirituality.In the comments section here Why men would want to do this is never explained. Some time after the event, Llewellyn Worldwide, one of the largest New Age publishers, dropped Budapest from their author database.She is linked as an author here but the link is officially dead and there is now almost no mention of her anywhere on the site.
Her organization, Dianic University Online, described as "a vagina-friendly online school for Dianic Wicca and Goddess studies for women", prominently includes the following on its homepage:
Interestingly, the same website makes use of the pentacle on a number of pages. The pentacle in Wicca, symbolizes the Triple Goddess with the Horned God, or in ceremonial magic (Cornelius Agrippa, Eliphas Levi, Pythagoreans, et al) as the union between male and female.About.com: Pentagram, Five-Pointed StarBuzzle: Paganism Symbols Uh oh!

Zayzafuna

Zayzafuna is a monthly educational magazine for children sponsored by the Palestinian National Committee for Education, Culture and Sciences, with an advisory board consisting of Palestinian Authority educators and officials. It is controversial for its anti-Jewish stance.
The February 2011 issue of the magazine ran an essay submitted by a teenage girl, in which she described herself dreaming of meeting four real-life figures: the mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, the nobel-winning author Naguib Mahfouz, Sultan Saladin, and Adolf Hitler. Her encounter with Hitler is as follows:
Shareef Samhan, the magazine's director, did not object to the above translation but claimed - not entirely convincingly - that the article was meant as an attack on Hitler.
