world's freakiest animals
Wow, I did not know wetas were that big.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Isn't the guy on the right the man who played Kirk in Gilmore Girls, and the man on the left, his brother, who used to be married to Jenna Fischer from the Office?
Yes. [link]

No transitional fossils have been or ever will be discovered
There's Tiktaalik [link] for one. (Serendipitously, I was just reading about it.) We've discovered fossils of maybe 1% of the all the species that have ever lived.
What I really dislike about this argument is that it implies that god created all those fossils as some kind of giant practical joke.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Those are some weird fucking animals! And the captions are great.
These dudes escaped from the Phantom Zone and the first thing they want are our ligers!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Though I prefer that theory to "test of faith". The Almighty being a wise-ass could be cool, but trying to trip us up is just mean.
I'm particularly fond of this sentence, however:
Have you heard of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ in Scotland? ‘Nessie,’ for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur.
Hey! Everyone knows there's a Lock Ness Monster, right? That's just accepted FACT.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My mil and sil found three complete Lego sets (Harrry Potter, Dubledore's office, a soccer field with all the players and Lego board game) at thrift stores for $16. The cost of these sets new? Over $500. Score!

I'm reading Why Evolution is True and it explains the transitional fossils. The stupid it burns!
