And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But then why use a human work of art as his example?

Because he's not counting on his audience thinking too critically about what he's saying.

Same goes for his "It could be an Intelligent Designer with really poor attention to detail" response to JS's "But what about my scrotum?" challenge.

Having not seen it, my answer is because he is a blowhard stoopidhead.

How are you Burrell. I think I was playing with Frannie in my dream last night, cause I woke up thinking I should see her.

Our wings are not tired.

he used Mount Rushmore as his example of something you look at and can tell, just by looking, that some kind of intelligence was behind it.

Mount Rushmore was created in 7 days via divine intervention, right?

If I only had a brain...

Heh.

Four years ago, comedian Gilbert Gottfried famously learned the perils of puncturing the national mood. Three weeks after the terrorist attacks, he was speaking at a Friar's Club roast of Hugh Hefner and joked that he had to leave early to catch a plane to Los Angeles.

He couldn't get a direct flight, he said, so he had to make a stop at the Empire State building.

He heard a collective gasp. Someone shouted out, "Too soon!" Gottfried retreated by telling the filthy, hoary joke immortalized in the current movie "The Aristocrats."

"I had to go into safe territory," he said, "like incest and bestiality."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oy! My eyes were totally rolling forever. WTF? I mean, if you are going to credit your designer with intelligence, you'd think reproduction would be one of those areas where he'd take a bit of care.

msbelle, you should come see Franny and then you can play with her at night when she wakes up, and I can sleep! Oh wait, no, you'll be sleeping too... hmm. This plan may need a bit more work.

Silence means security silence means approval

Look, it's obviously a sign a design.

Men are genetically predispositioned to be taller, faster (over short distances), and stronger than women. So, God put the most vulnerable part of the man's body on the outside. That way, women can level the playing field with one well-placed fist or foot.

send Franny to visit me. Easy Peasy. The cats can entertain her when she wakes up.

Franny's latest ploy for getting us up in the morning is very direct. She comes into the bedroom and says, "mommy awake! daddy awake!" until one of us--usually me--wakes up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bah. Stupid day isn't over yet.

I shall rectify the situation by getting a hot fudge sundae from McDonalds.
