There will be a wrap-up of the atheist symbol discussion tomorrow—I’ll put up a post with the most popular options and invite people to defend them—but until then, savor this amusing artwork.
(No, it’s not a serious contender, it’s just funny!)
Zeno sent me this:
It certainly encapsulates what I hear when Republicans open their mouths.
Who in their right mind wouldn’t oppose baby-eating monkeys from outer space? Probably those same bastards who hate our troops and want the terrorists to win.
Here’s a real deal for you all: if you watch this video, you’ll have taken care of all your religious obligations for the day and are exempted from having to go to church this morning!

Perhaps it doesn’t fit your stereotypes of what Minnesotans are like, but there are also freaky wild parties with cocaine and huge…huge…well, you know. Watch the video to find out.
I think it’s shot in Lake Wobegone, actually.
One of the perks of this blogging gig is that Roy Zimmerman sends me his CDs—you want it just for the songs Creation Science 101 and Intelligent Design, although the rest is toe-tapping good, too.
The Wordburst feature on the Scienceblogs main page sometimes comes up with strange combinations: right now the words of the day are “stupider”, “breasts”, “Deepak Chopra”, “Fisking”, and “ingest”. One of those other science sites, Element List, is picking on us by running a contest…a contest to write a science joke using those five terms. Go ahead, make fun of us. Win a prize.
Evil Bobby (with a name like that, he should know) tells me that Darth Vader’s little brother Chad Vader is working as a night manager at a grocery store in Madison. I’m going to have to suggest to my son that he look the place up and toss a tangelo down one of the ventilation shafts, just to see what happens.
Since John Wilkins also made the pilgrimage to Down House this past July, we had to one-up him and find something he hadn’t seen—and here it is. There was a laboratory space behind the greenhouses that he hadn’t been able to enter, but we could, and inside was a beehive and…worm pots!
The placard simply says that Darwin studied worms for the last two years of his life, and includes a few paragraphs from his worm work. There they are, three dead-looking pots on a bare shelf. Writhe in envy, Wilkins! Now you’re going to have to book a flight to London to catch up with us.
