Michelle Duggar must be furious...

Sup, dawg! We heard you like being pregnant so we're going to put another baby in your babymaker so you can deliver while you deliver!

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort - if you can't debate, obfuscate!

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (of the famous banana argument for evolution) went on several crusades for the creationist/intelligent design side of biological origins. Using it's public domain status, he is giving away 100,000 copies of his version of Darwin's On the Origin of Species to college campuses. Comfort's special edition contains a 50 page foreword where he conveniently inserts the same, tired creationist canards (abiogenesis, no transitional forms, etc.) that have been rejected again and again by evolutionary scientists. The goal is to distribute these copies freely to universities in a way to encourage academic freedom and 'lively' debate. He already revised his foreword in the light of several backlashes for errors, but we assume those inaccurate copies were not retracted.

Not sure I've ever seen a book be so hijacked by inserting an opposing viewpoint in the foreword that deliberately sets out to denounce and in many ways misinterpret the goal of the original work. This YouTube poster went on a rather pointed and I daresay excellent tirade of this book and how it would be if the shoe was on the other foot.

It seems for every success we make in the realm of freedom of speech, some forensic marvel comes along and shows us just how hard it is to make the shit sink to the bottom.I guess in a few years we can just pile these copies of the book into the Failboat along with the Expelled DVDs, float it out to sea and scuttle it.

In a few years, it could become a fascinating artificial reef upon which marine organisms will grow and evolve for millions of years. Then again they may have the good sense to just avoid it like a sunken plague barge.

Funny if you're a gamer...

Some pictures I thought were apropos for those of us who enjoy RPGs.

The d12 dice that you might be rolling every day:



And my de facto response when I see any picture of Christina Hendricks:

It's not your typical Monday...

Times like this, seeing the homages below, I actually have some hope for the future of humanity. I unfortunately do not know the origin of the first picture (the artist for the second has a page here), so eleventy Internets to you both, wherever you may be.

We really, really miss you, Bill. Please come back and save us from the banality of 21st century comic strips.

Ireland's answer to the Antivaxers...

I discovered Dara O'Briain a while back on YouTube, and this is one of my favorite tears he does on the whole homeopathy industry; being in the pharmaceutical industry myself--and not having time now to go into what I think of Jenny McCarthy and the whole [Grumpy Dwarf voice] "vaccines is poysin!" crowd--it's amazing how this stuff makes me simultaneously laugh and facepalm over how many gullible simians we have who buy into this quackery.

I particularly like the bit where he talked about herbalism has been around for thousands of years; yeah, because we tested them all and the ones that worked became MEDICINE.

He also has some wickedly smart commentary on religion and civilization in general.

I believe the kids would say, "you got served!"

Henry Rollins, bless his Black Flag heart does a monologue/tirade about European techno/club music.


Techno artist Steve Porter (of the classic Vince "Rapchop" fame) drops a plate on Rollins' ass.

Benadryl never slowed me down

This just in from the "as if we didn't know it already": Allergies have an impact on your sex life.

Now I will avoid the obvious joke about something other than my nose needing to be blown, but usually my issues had less to do with performance and more with pillow talk. Sinus drainage at an awkward moment aside, I'm a talky sumbitch when it comes to lovin'. It's hard to really get her into the groove when you're trying to whistle sexy talk like, "oh baby, I wud to be so deeb indide your puddy, led me do you log ad hawd uddil you cub ober and ober."
