heicart So, we have a guy posting to the list who really, really, REALLY wants to talk to someone about a show on History Channel that he says involves Isaac Newton and Bible Prophecy.

In which Michael Egnor steals the “shrill harpy” title
January 26th, 2012
Kazim Over the years I’ve seen PZ Myers excoriate the odious Michael Egnor many times, and enjoyed it greatly. Figured it’s time for me to get in on the act. Here’s what happened: JT Eberhard decries the despicable bullying that Jessica Ahlquist has received for her role in getting the prayer mural taken down at her [...]

And, well, perhaps it really is the case that [...]
I can’t imagine why they say print media is dying

We get… uh, text messages?
January 11th, 2012
Kazim Yesterday we received a string of messages which I assume originated from a cell phone. They had no subject, and the return address was [a ten digit number]@vzwpix.com.
