Take a moment and get caught up in these tangles of links:
Otherwise, chat among yourselves (hmmm…seems to be a lot of these open threads around here lately. Don’t worry, next week I’ll tell you all to shut up, it’s my turn.)
Frolic in the comments. Put those hankies down!
She’s on YouTube, accusing her opponent of believing in evolution. Wow. That wins me over.
That’s the estimated toll in Iraqi lives from our invasion.
That’s an awful lot of commas.
Yesterday, I toured the Tower of London (among other things) with Larry Moran. For those of you who don’t know him, he’s one of the more ferocious combatants in the evolution-creation wars—he does not suffer fools, gladly or otherwise. He ended up in a few of my photos, in a disturbingly appropriate way.
I call this series, “Larry Moran contemplates armaments”.
Come in from the cold and say something.
There is a tradition among the regulars of the usenet group talk.origins to have occasional gatherings, usually at some major locus of evolutionary activity, and accompanied by beer. Such an event will be happening this Saturday, in London.
We’ll be meeting on these steps at 2pm:
That’s the Natural History Museum here in Kensington. Look for the bearded nerd with a black computer bag and a camera hanging from his neck; that’s me. I’ll be there with a distinguished and professorial science nerd scholar*; that’ll be Laurence Moran. We’ll hang about the steps for a while, gathering together any fellow science geeks, talk.origins regulars and readers of Pharyngula, and then take a brief tour of the museum. Afterwards, we’ll depart for some local pub. If you’d rather skip the dry old bones stage of the festivities, you could meet us at the steps at 4pm, because that’s when we’ll find a nearby watering hole for the wet work.
After a few hours in the pub, we might go looking for food…you’re welcome to hang with us all that time, too. We can stretch out the festivities for as long as people are willing to talk.
*He denies being a nerd.
Where else could I go but to the only respectable church in all of Christendom? It was most cool to step out of the Tube station and look up and recognize this rather huge, ornate building.
Get cosmic in the comments.
