This month’s Mad magazine (I know, I’m probably the only person over 14 who doesn’t like vomit jokes who ever cracks the magazine open) has a feature on the the 20 dumbest people, events, and things of 2007, and guess what won a slot on the list?

Too bad it only made #14. Ken Ham needs to try harder and bring on the dumbth.
(Coming in ahead of the Creation “Museum” are Michael Vick, GW Bush, Don Imus, Britney Spears, the Walter Reed Army Hospital, the Anna Nicole Smith paternity trial, Paris Hilton, Lisa Marie Nowak, toy recalls, Isaiah Washington, Keith Richards, Scooter Libby, and the Sopranos finale. I admit that the competition at the top is awfully fierce, but it should have placed higher than 14.)
I’m not too impressed with the curriculum, but heck, they’ve got a great mascot, so I’m sure students will apply.
All those kids who are expecting a white-bearded fat man to drop down the chimney are going to get a surprise on ‘podmas.
Your puny space shuttles are as toys to our powerful invertebrate overlords.
Put a couple of illustrators together to draw superheroes, each one able to defeat the previous one, and what do you get? Weirdness. Especially when one of the superheroes is…The Creationist.

The ability to make evidence disappear sounds powerful, until you realize that all it really is is the ability to close his eyes very tightly.
All right, this comic convinces me that the tactics of godless rationalism and saintly religion are indistinguishable.
(I’ll also be curious to see how many creationists overlook the sarcasm and accuse me of wanting to torture them on the rack…)
