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.

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:

and, of course

Can't wait to see this unfurl.

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.

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.

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.
