I think in one of his books Shermer discusses how he was an extreme cyclist. Extreme cycling and extreme marathons are basically see who can cycle/run the furthest without dying in 24 hours. These are absolutely nutty things to do. He has taken on his skepticism of everything with the same zeal.
For example, he goes and does something like this (http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/07-01-17.html). I mean it is okay to be skeptical, but you would think that skeptics would look at the sources of their information before swallowing stupid stuff whole.
I think Karla McLaren achieves a better balance than Shermer does.
