So I just read on the Internet that “MITT ROMNEY AND PAUL RYAN” happens to be a perfect anagram for “MY ULTIMATE AYN RAND PORN”. That’s it. My mind is blown.

Prayers for sale–but not for long
Freedom of religion notwithstanding, it seems that certain types of supernatural products and services are downright unworkable, for entirely commercial reasons. Just ask EBay. Beginning Aug.30, the online auction site will ban the sale of curses, spells, hexes, magic, prayers, blessing services, magic potions, healing sessions and more… “EBay regularly reviews categories and updates our …

The art of prophecy
Here’s a challenge for you. Consider these six words “He washes his clothes in wine.” Given that this statement appears in Genesis 49:11, can you turn it into a prediction that Messiah will be born of a virgin? Justin Martyr can, as we see this week at Evangelical Realism.

Well duh
From the That Answers That Department: I was coming back from the store and flipping the dial on my radio, and came across this (paraphrased): … that ETI could actually be responsible for the destruction of all life on this planet. Now think about that. Aliens. Who would create them? (*chortle*)An alien god? Isn’t this …

Plants vs. the Gospel
Via PZ Myers at Pharyngula comes this delicious tidbit from veteran creationist Henry M. Morris. Obviously, animal and human life are different from plant life.

Chick-fil-A fighting back with fake Facebook accounts?

Consistency and perfection
As long as we’re dabbling in a bit of amateur philosophy, I thought I might bring up another notion some of you might find interesting.

We are infallible
I’ve been thinking lately about presuppositional apologetics, following (among other things) this post on Aron Ra’s blog. I’ve got the beginnings of an approach to addressing presuppositionalism, and just for fun I thought I’d throw out what I’ve got and see what kind of comments it gets. My approach is a bit Pascalesque [EDIT: Cartesian?]: …

Higgs Boson
I heard a rumor that somebody was getting ready to announce the discovery of the Higgs boson, and now I see the discovery being hailed as a done deed on CNN, so I guess they really did it. This is so cool and so awesome! It’s a bit ironic that the discovery was announced on …

A quick thought
I was driving home from work last night, and was thinking about that slogan, “We report, you decide.” It was bugging me because I had the nagging feeling I’d heard a very similar quote, years ago, but couldn’t remember what it was. Then it came to me. “Garbage in, garbage out.”
