I’m Assuming This Isn’t a Hoax

Peanut butter creationism:

One objection, though it’s obviously too stupid to take seriously: If life were generated in a peanut butter container (a stupid scenario for too many reasons to count), it would be microscopic!!!

On hobbits…

I’m crossing my fingers that someday scientists will discover one of these hobbit carcasses encased in amber or whatever-the-hell would allow us to snatch some DNA and clone them. Since they aren’t human, I think cloning would be legal. And although they have heads the size of grapefruits, scientists believe they were smart enough to use tools and hunt tiny elephants. That spells one thing: Hobbit butlers.

A Nice Rant…

…from Bill Maher on religion in politics:


He makes a good point on the “religious test” provision in the Constitution. I sometimes hear Christian conservatives trot it out as a reason folks should never question the beliefs of a Religious Right candidate. But of course the provision only means the government can’t have a religious test for filling an office — voters are always free to vote on whatever terms they chose.

“I wanted to be asked, Oprah. Don’t you understand that? … ‘Day No. 20. 11/27/01. Oprah. Noprah.’ It was humiliating.”

Hasta La Vista

I wouldn’t run Vista if someone kidnapped my family and threatened to kill them, but it’s nice to know that my MacBook Pro could smoke a PC if I did.
