PZ Myers on his debate with a Creationist:

...He wrote a whole book about "Billions of missing links"! His other book, What Darwin Didn't Know, needs to be retitled in a new edition, What Geoffrey Simmons Doesn't Know. It will be a very large book.

I shouldn't have been surprised at his performance, though. I have a secret: I read part of What Darwin Didn't Know before the show, and knew exactly what kind of creationist I was engaging.

I have to share a few tidbits with you from that hilarious book. It has a chapter titled "Purposeful Design" which purports to list 81 examples of design. He has very low standards. Basically, anything that works is evidence of design.

The mouth, vagina, urethra, and anus are sealed by mucus when not in use and yet can open and close in controlled ways as needs arise.

This is a man who thinks the fact that he isn't drooling and feces aren't dribbling down his leg is a miracle from god. After reading his book, I kind of agree.

New England is probably iced over

Not so far. We're due for something, but the temprature is hovering just above freezing, so it's be icky, whatever it is.

Also, count me in the corner that prefers snow to winter rain. Much easier to walk in. Granted, if there are a few more times this winter that I have to dig my car out, I may revise that judgment.

Ahhaahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I am "working from home" today and for all of next week because they are replacing the carpets are work. Anyway, I just opened a meeting agenda that someone emailed me and it opened up in the Buffied font. Har!

FNL Season 2 dvds - coming out April 22nd!!!

My new student worker was born in 1990, people!! I could be his mother, if I'd had sex in my senior year in high school!

I had a student flirting with me at an event last weekend. I just looked at him and thought “If I’d been sluttier in high school, I could be your mother” Turns out that he thought I was another student. Flattering, I suppose.

The dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth yesterday thought I looked too young to have a daughter about to turn 4 and was completely boggled to learn that I'm 37. I'm flattered, but confused. I've been lucky in the youthful, almost unlined skin department, true, but it's been a couple of months since I last got my hair colored, and the gray strands are starting to peek through. Maybe I could pass for early 30's, but that's not too young to have a child Annabel's age by any standard.

Matt Damon Sings, Dances In Sarah Silverman Video ABC | February 1, 2008 10:56 AM

Worksafe, because all the bad words are bleeped out.

Sarah Silverman got Matt Damon to sing and dance in a music video for her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel. She presented what may be the funniest video ever to Kimmel on Thursday night's show.

Presenting, "I'm Fucking Matt Damon:"

Maybe I could pass for early 30's, but that's not too young to have a child Annabel's age by any standard.

I guess 40 really is the new 30. When I first started here, my boss commented that I seemed to have a lot of friends with children. Even though most people don't think I'm 40, I don't look 25, or some age where that might be "weird".
