Happy Birthday Kalshane!

and to MonkeyPants!

Woof, tiggy, that's some house fire.

FWIW, the boyfriend of my college roommate was burned pretty badly our senior year, an electrical burn (he's a plumber), but similarly involving the face and hospitalization. He swole up like crazy at first, including around his eyes, but later the swelling did go down and he came out OK with no vision impairment. (He had only 1st and 2nd burns, and got away with only a couple of scars.)

So, soothing lotions, powerful painkillers, and lots and lots of nice white blood cells to your aunt.

I'm just guessing here, but the fossil record of increasing complexity of organisms as time has passed is somehow not empirical evidence.

Of course not. It's a trick by the devil, who is a very tricky geologist.

One could get really, "I'll show you mine if . . . " about that. I mean, I'm assuming the guy doesn't have God the Father Almighty, the Holy Spirit, or the ressurected Jesus Christ on DVD.

Yeah, which is what led BoingBoing to offer $ for proof that Jesus is not the Son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

My department gets requests for footage of the crucifixion on a regular basis. Most of the time, these requests are eventually clarified to mean reenactments. But only most of the time.

(My favorites are the ones that include helpful comments like "black & white film ok." Because, you know, they didn't have color back then.)

I just wandered over to the original Pastafarian site for the first time in a little while. I didn't know they'd been wiki-ed. And does anyone know anything about a schizm?

A rival faction, based on SPAM (Spaghetti & Pulsar Activating Meatballs), has formed and is calling for a Holy War against FSM. SPAMation claims to have the One True Letter to the Kansas School Board.

Oh, I have some News You Can Use: My aunt's mother (aunt by marriage) was on the local news here last night, because Ticketmaster gave her the wrong price for tickets, and then came back wanting her to pay the rest. The story is here: [link] Fun!

Awwww, that's cute. I was hoping for a fettucini heresy, but you can't have everything.
