Topical humor

We’re going to be seeing more humor like this in the next few weeks, I suppose. I like the tag line: Because Ben Stein is just as qualified to make software as he is to talk about evolutionary biology.

And if you’re confused about what this “evolutionary biology” thing might be, here’s a picture of Stein’s understanding of the subject.

If that’s too much for you, just seek solace by reciting a prayer from the Book of Bon Jovi, Chapter Wanted Dead or Alive. (via some other Canadian.)

At last! A candidate I can support!

The New York City Skeptics sent me a t-shirt today, and at last I have the candidate I want.

I know, I know, you’re all thinking that there’s one little problem with the guy — he’s British.* I’m sure we can sneak a little amendment through real fast — we’ll tell everyone it’s to let Schwarzenegger run, and do a quick last minute swap.

*He’s also dead, but he’ll still do a better job than the clown in office right now.

The British lead the way again!

They’re so far ahead, it’s almost April 2nd there right now. And they have taken an important next step: they have passed regulations requiring the reading of disclaimers at church services:

Congregants should be aware of the gaps and/or problems in the Catholic theory of transubstantiation, including, but not limited to, the Protestant notion that the bread and wine are merely symbolic, the opinions of other religions on the life of Christ, and the lack of conclusive scientific evidence available to support this theory.

This is excellent news. I only hope our country can some day follow suit.
