Just read this post and prayer from Pharyngula

And they're off...

My parents left the UK for Canada today. I'm still a bit miffed at the amount of time you have to spend at Heathrow just because an unworkable plan got hatched in some uninhabited heads. So we join a 250 metre line up and look for water bottles and hand cream to throw away. The flat is a bit emptier now and the dog is getting sulkier as he starts to realize that they're not coming back. -- From: The Eternal Gaijin Lost Somewhere in Wandsworth, London "Words Cannot Describe What I Am About To Tell You."

Hovind notes from through Pharyngula

Lovely. The Pensacola News Journal has another story about Dr Flintstone. (http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061020/NEWS01/610200327) Damn he's funny. /Hovind believes he and his employees work for God, are paid by God and therefore aren't subject to taxation. But Horton said whether Hovind works for God is irrelevant and the Bible does not exempt anyone from paying taxes. "We know the Scriptures do not promote (tax evasion)," she said. "It's against Scripture teaching." Horton first heard of Hovind's beliefs about taxes in the mid 1990s. / Pharyngula seems to be capable of digesting this sort of thing: http://www.scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/05/pensacola_christians_are_makin.php http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/03/godless_bloggers_vs_pensacola.php and, of course http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/10/pensacola_hilarity.php Can't wait to see this unfurl. // // -- From: ...

Another one

Do check out another blog on Dr Dino -- the Panda's Thumb <http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2006/10/workers_testify.html>. -- From: The Eternal Gaijin Lost Somewhere in Wandsworth, London "Words Cannot Describe What I Am About To Tell You."

Oh it's on. Don't you worry, it's on.

You know it's just getting good again. I've kinda disappeared into my own butt between the niece, parents' visit and so on... And then the good news <http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061018/NEWS01/610180337/1006>gets broken by the Old Pensacola News Journal. 'Dr' Dino, our favourite Flintstoneologist is getting his trial rolling along. And I was just forgetting to say 'suborned of false muster' 3 times a day. Don't forget to read the comments. Some whack-a-doodles have a few things to say there. It's also not a bad time to keep an eye on the blogosphere. Dispatches from the Culture Wars <http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2006/10/hovind_trial_begins.php> has a quick blurb. More will come from other soon. Oh, and save your brain <http://darwin-online.org.uk/>. Darwin's on the web. -- From: The Eternal Gaijin Lost Somewhere in Wandsworth, London "Words Cannot Describe What I Am About To Tell...

Now there's no hope that they'll do anything about him.

In the wake of the Korean nuclear test, just let me say this: there is no chance that the US will go into Korea. As I maintained before the Second Gulf War, US soldiers will not be put in the way of this kind of retaliation. Kim Jong-il is safe. We're not. - From: The Eternal Gaijin Lost Somewhere in Wandsworth, London "Words Cannot Describe What I Am About To Tell You."

Where were these teachers when I was in high school?

Let's face it. Cairine Wilson didn't have that many teachers worth hitting on anyway, but still. And yes, I know that I'm missing the point of the article. Don't tell me that. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52044 -- From: The Eternal Gaijin Lost Somewhere in Wandsworth, London "Words Cannot Describe What I Am About To Tell You."
