I am the law.

Ok… this is the last random video/image for awhile.

‘Nuff said?

I think I just found a new comic strip to add to my favourites… Garfield the comics with garfield cut out. Yes, thats right. Its even better than the originals.

Pharyngula pointed this out to me. Fantastic little video (8 parts). Was great up until the cold reading part, which I’ve seen explained plenty of times… as always… completely depressing, and always sends a chill down my spine… depressing, but so revealing.

Its definitely worth checking out his other videos aswell (and, additionally, the “explained” videos by other authors are worth looking at too).

Its a nasty way to think. But when you’re down, always remember that you’re not really that bad off…

Been awhile since a post… Picked this up from digg today.

Not bad acting for kids!

NewScientist has covered a survey/study on how evolution is taught in the classroom (or, sometimes, how its not). Of the 2000 teachers polled, 16% followed creationism, believing that the earth had been created by god within the past 10,000 years. Whats probably more significant is the effects…

[..] about 12.5% of the total survey – said they taught it as a “valid, scientific alternative to Darwinian explanations for the origin of species”

[..] Teachers who subscribed to these young-Earth creationist views, perhaps not surprisingly, spent 35% fewer hours teaching evolution than other teachers

Not entirely suprising how America gets statistics like this, now, is it.

This is the best thing I’ve seen the internet produce in weeks. Stuff God Hates. Written by no other than the almighty himself. The most notable items of the list being Africa, Hillary Clinton, Science, Dancing, Cats, and Asia… Just don’t try and correct his spelling. For the lord is infallible…

He’s even made contact with PZ Myers!

Thought the blog was getting a bit weighed down with seriousness… Another Extras clip worth watching is Ian McKellan if you haven’t already.
