Damn that anti-life science!

Hm. Maybe that's why all the funding to my group of Doomsday Physicists got cut. We were really hoping to get that 450-A-258 Space Modulator up and running to blow up the Earth within the next couple of years.

Anglican leader opposes creationism in school

LONDON - The spiritual leader of the world’s Anglicans does not believe that creationism — the Bible-based account of the world’s origins — should be taught in schools.

...

Williams, head of a church that has no problem with the Darwinian theory of evolution, told The Guardian newspaper: “I think creationism is, in a sense, a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory, like other theories.”

...

“Religion has become politicized in America. That is not the case here. This is not a major issue,” religious commentator and broadcaster Clifford Longley told Reuters. “There is no intellectual credibility given to creationism in this country. There is no parallel between English evangelicals and American evangelicals.

"When I wrote an article saying there were no creationists in Britain, they both wrote to me.”

Heh.

"When I wrote an article saying there were no creationists in Britain, they both wrote to me.”

Oh, fuck that's funny.

Well, the government shouldn't be funding such things. I really think that the development of doomsday technology should be left to the marketplace. Let the various evil masterminds compete to come up with the most efficient way to destroy the world.

Yet another cook clock

"When I wrote an article saying there were no creationists in Britain, they both wrote to me.”

Love this.

Do you know how long I sat here trying to figure out what that has to do with cooking?

That was my evil plan all along. (Of course, now I can't fix the typo because you went and mentioned it.)

Wednesday One-liners - the subway ones are SO my favorites.

Gillian Anderson, for Plei.

Is it vengeance if you do it RIGHT right away? Sadly, this sort of "justice" is meted relatively often in Jamaica.

Moron on parade:

Prosecutors in Riverside County are using Colton Simpson's tell-all book Inside the Crips: Life Inside L.A.'s Most Notorious Gang as evidence against him in a three-strikes case that could send him to prison for life.

Simpson's case appears to be the first in which prosecutors have relied on a defendants' book as evidence of intent to commit a crime, said Laurie Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School. Prosecutors have used journals and letters to attempt to show criminal intent, Levenson said. In the Michael Jackson molestation trial last year, she said, Santa Barbara County prosecutors unsuccessfully tried to use holiday cards Jackson wrote the alleged victim to prove the singer's guilt. But the Simpson case, Levenson said, "is the first I'm aware of in which some of the key evidence against a defendant - the most damaging - is in his own book."

Guh! I prefer the red-headed, Scully variety but still love GA.
