It’s too accurate.
That’s not the punchline, either — it’s just the setup. You’ll have to read the whole thing.
Don’t miss the one right after it, either — it explains how science publishing works.
Some of you may recall that horrible, annoying talking paper clip that Microsoft inserted into their evil software many years ago. It was universally reviled, so you don’t see it anymore, but have you ever wondered what happened to it? Clippy met Cthulhu. No contest.
Those Australians know how to sell a classy bottle of wine — it’s all in the label. There’s a good chance I’ll be traveling to Melbourne this Spring, and I might just have to bring an extra suitcase to haul back plenty of these:
But noooooo — they’re all sold out! Maybe I’ll have to change those travel plans and visit a more hospitable country.
Did you miss out on our trip to the Creation “Museum” last week? Do you wish you could see such amazing inanity on display, but you live far away and you just don’t think it’s worth the money? Or perhaps you just don’t want to give AiG a penny. Well, here’s your solution: make your own! It’s easy, it’s cheap, and trust me, it’s just as scientifically accurate.
All you have to do is go to your local WalMart and browse the toy section. Get a random assortment of plastic animals, arrange them into a beautiful diorama, and take pictures. Presto! That’s what these clever people did.
I just have to add that gluing googly eyes on everything was brilliant. It makes the whole display so much better than anything in the $27 million dollar monument to folly in Kentucky. (Uh-oh — I hope AiG isn’t reading this, or they’ll rush out and get bigger googly eyes to glue on all their exhibits, and increase their verisimilitude a thousand fold).
Wouldn’t you know it, even the omniscient lord of the cosmos can’t spell my name right. There may be an upside to this, though: when St Peter at the gates goes flipping through his big book of naughty deeds, he won’t be able to find me, and will just wave me on through to continue my rabble rousing.
I tried to watch this new video from Edward Current, but it turns out my Faith-Vision is legally blind.
I have to wait for these Chaser videos to migrate to YouTube — people keep sending me links to the Australian broadcasters site, but they don’t let us Americans see them. Here, though, is one in which they journeyed to Texas to see if we Americans take the bible as literally as some claim. We failed, fortunately.
Uh-oh. This cartoon about what might happen at the Creation “Museum” might put the monitoring security detail in Kentucky into a tizzy — in addition to the No Rude T-Shirts rule, they’ll have to add a No Transformation into Cephalopods rule. Better renew the magical wards and holy anointings and blessings on the buildings, boys, the godless are coming to ignore your metaphysics.
One other inaccuracy in the cartoon, though: there will be no Canned Ham during our visit. The head of AiG will not be present, due to a prior engagement on the west coast. Just as well, I don’t think he likes me very much.
If you’re considering a pet, you have to weigh the pros and cons.
Wow, when they’re all laid out like that, you just have to choose the squid.
Now wait — maybe you’ve got some brain-damaged children running around who chose poorly, or you flipped a coin and are now stuck with the decision to get puppies. Don’t despair! Get both! In fact, get lots of puppies — they make excellent squid chow, and they’re also useful fresh stock to have around in case peckish atheists come to visit.
