Ha-ha.

It may have been built with heavenly intentions, but a judge has ruled that the creationism theme park known as Dinosaur Adventure Land still must obey earthly laws.

Escambia County authorities this week locked up a museum building at the theme park on North Palafox Street in Pensacola after Circuit Judge Michael Allen ruled the owners were in contempt of court.

Owners of the park, which shows how dinosaurs may have roamed the Earth just a few thousand years ago, did not obtain a building permit before constructing the building in 2002. They have argued in and out of court that it violates their "deeply held" religious beliefs, and that the church-run facility does not have to obtain permits.

After almost four years of litigation, the judge disagreed and said the county has the authority to close the building until the owners comply with regulations.

The judge also fined two church leaders $500 each per day for every day the building is used or occupied. If church officials continue to refuse to comply with local ordinances, the judge may decide that the building can be razed, Allen's ruling said.

County commissioners showed no sympathy to members of the Creation Science Evangelism ministry who spoke out Thursday night at a commission meeting about the county's actions.

"Scripture also says 'Render unto Caesar what Caesar demands.' And right now, Caesar demands a building permit," County Commission Chairman Mike Whitehead said.

Dumbfucks.

Hey, Buffistas! My posting may look the same, but that's a snare and delusion, because I am not in sunny Burbank, but instead sitting in a hotel suite in Downtown Minneapolis, where I will be for a week.

Also, SHANE!?! Holy Moly. I would have gone up and slapped him, just on principle.

They have argued in and out of court that it violates their "deeply held" religious beliefs, and that the church-run facility does not have to obtain permits.

I had no idea it was possible to have deeply held religious beliefs about building permits.

You must be as untemptable as a 38th-level sage. Water water all around and not a drop to drink...

Its just a wiring thing -- I almost never find the married or even the well-taken attractive in an immediate sense. Brad though would make me head tilt during a conversation.

Sophia, you're experienced. That's a GOOD thing. That's not old.

If you can do one of those shoots you should. Likely as not you could get some 'ffista to put you up almost anywhere in the country if they weren't offering to. (You've certainly got new york covered)

And I think you're clearly using your talents. You might want to explore new avenues of doing so is all. And just explore -- you don't need to make any life-altering decisions before you go work on a project or two.

I have deeply-held religious beliefs that building permits are evil things foisted upon us by the Space Clams.

I had muesli and soy milk instead. It was a surprisingly good substitute.

I have a friend who has deeply held beliefs about building permits. - as in you should get them after the fact . Sadly, the city knows him. So they look extra hard at his work. Happily, he is good at what he does , and they have to get really fussy to find anything. Someday, a new restaurant will be born in town .

The only thing to watch out for with Hustle is that not all the repeats are letterboxed, so make sure and watch the Saturday airings or you'll risk getting the pan-n-scan version. (All 12 eps are also ahemable.)

also, (they may have changed this) the first several episodes did not have unique descriptors, so Tivo would record several versions of the same ep because it had no way to distinguish them. That changed after a while, so they may have changed it for this running.

I think I have two copies of the second episode of Heist for similar stupid tagging reasons. I am so about descriptive metadata, you have no idea.

What happens when a man covered in microphones walks into a room covered with speakers? Feedback. Lots of it.

Heh. It actually sounded cooler than I thought it would. Plus, it alarmed my cat.
