I read this cool article on wikipedia the other day:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience

"There is a subset of what is often called pseudoscience which differs from what has been here termed pseudoscience. Most of
these are mathematically based, and the
problems are often phrased with tempting simplicity. They often live in a closed system of assumptions and premises, and depend
on a faulty interpretation of the rules of that system."

One thing that I've lately added to my list of things that sets off the bogo-meter is the claim that something "works like the brain works." This is a lovely example of nonfalsifiability, because no one knows how the brain works.
