It was a fairly long fuse, I guess — it’s taken more than a month for the FtB April Fools’ joke to finally detonate at Greg Laden’s place.
Poor Bob.

I’m just going to have to put the latest xkcd in front of the incoming students: as it says, Every Major's Terrible. I notice, though, that the only reasons he can give for biology sucking are ones of personal distaste.
Of course, rejecting the pragmatic rationalizations for every major is wonderfully liberating. If they all suck, then you should just major in what you love.
Just so I could keep Republicans in it!
Anyone know where I can get a copy? I’m already a penis-haver, so I’m good in that department, thanks.
Well-known fact: Mr Deity used to be a Mormon. But he got better.
Don’t skip the begging segment!
This just in: Jesus was NOT a cosmic Jewish zombie. Ken Ham carefully and very seriously explains to us that Jesus was not mindless, and he ate food, not his disciples brains, therefore the humorous accusations of zombiehood are false.
Jesus did come in the flesh as a Jew, so you got part of this correct. As for the zombie line, you clearly have not taken the time to look at the vast differences between a zombie and the resurrected Christ. Zombies are considered to be part of the undead (not alive), often will-less and speechless bodies that have been reanimated by spirits. The resurrected Christ is not undead, but alive (Revelation 1:18). After His Resurrection, He spoke with His followers and taught them (Luke 24:25–27), reassured them (Luke 24:36–39), and commanded them (Matthew 28:18–20). He ate food with them (Luke 24:43; John 21:15) and urged them to touch Him to see that He was not a ghost but truly risen from the dead bodily (Luke 24:39). He also had a will (John 21:22–23) and performed miracles (Luke 24:31; John 21:6).
He’s a little behind the times. This argument has already been dealt with earlier this month. He has to catch up now and explain why we Jesus wasn’t a lich.
I’m home at last. I actually get to spend like 9 consecutive days here without setting foot in an airplane or driving hundreds of miles…and it’s such a relief for now. And it’s so nice to be sent this soothing image.
Now I get to sleep in a little while.
Oh, dear. All of the Christians who’ve been pounding this particular kind of argument into the ground are going to have to convert to Asatru now.
And I guess I’m going to have to start worshipping Loki.
Enough. These wimpy billboards have to stop. Look at the horrible billboards the Skepticon conference is putting up.
Kittens??!? It’s kittens everywhere. But you know the only use we have for kittens at an atheist con is as hors d’oeuvres.
So I quickly and roughly threw together the billboard I want to see.
Much better.
