Carnivalia, and an open thread

It’s late, I’m going to be unconscious in my bed, those of you with insomnia or living in distant time zones need something to chat about — so here, just for you, it’s a Pharyngula Late Night open thread, primed with a few fun carnivals.

What’s that? It’s not enough? Late night chats need something really weird to keep them lively? OK, here, how about Creation Ministries International. Be sure to read their “What we believe” page — this is the Christianity everybody assures me doesn’t really exist.

Still not enough? How about the Hovindite efforts to suppress free speech on the web? Yeah, I know, just annoying and creepy.

Hindus riot over blasphemy! Bridge built by army of monkeys saved!

Hmmm. Tough crowd. How about “Priest defrauds congregation! Lives in luxury on proceeds from promises never kept!” Dang. But they all do that.

Sorry, gang. I’ve got nothing. You’ll have to entertain yourselves for a while.

Carnivalia, and an open thread

It’s Friday! I have no classes today, so this is the day where I desperately struggle to catch up with the backlog; it also happens to be the day we’re hosting a party at our house (you’re invited: 5:30, my place, across the street from the university; everyone who is anyone will be there). If you can’t make it, I expect you to make small talk and chat sociably in this open thread.

Here are a few ice-breakers to help you get started.

The Tangled Bank

The next edition of the Tangled Bank will be at the Behavioral Ecology blog — send those links in to me or host@tangledbank.net before Wednesday, 12 September.
