Anyway, another popular myth shot to hell. What's next? Curling?

:eek:

Now there's this American bronze medal winning snowboarder who's gone home after photos were taken of him at a party with a woman kissing his medal while he holds it below his waist.

Is that really necessary? Sending him home, I mean.

Shit. Are y'all sure they aren't just in Puerto Rico or something? I'd be worried about them coming back sometime unless they are dead or jailed. Or maybe they are still somewhere under all that garbage.

I love that in all the details Mara described, she specified that the televisions were brown.

:lol:

Truly sickening.

I meant blown!

I said "blown." As in, they don't work. Trash.

Speaking of brown, be glad I didn't describe the bathroom.

The cat might be. (And really, cat, there were mice in the house. Shame on you!)

But per the landlord, they moved out a couple of weeks ago. And I think I believe it-- there's no way they could function with the level of mess. (Piles of trash and food in front of the sinks, for example.)

They could very well be in jail.

It's also possible that the landlord tried to evict them and finally just changed the locks.

I almost got into an argument yesterday (which I almost never do) with someone who claimed they had a "literal" view of Genesis chapter 1. I let them know that if they hold a "literal" view, they believe that there is water above the earth which is being held back by a solid sky dome, and the sun, moon and stars (all separate sources of light, and in decreasing order of size) have been flung into the sky within that dome. The topic changed pretty quickly.

I got bored and typed "Scientific proof of God" in google, and got a decent read here

It proves absolutely nothing, but these "scientific approaches" to creationism and such are all pretty entertaining.

Ah, the bacterial flagellum argument! Ken Miller (a Roman Catholic who is a biologist, and often speaks regarding evolution) blows that to pieces.

Huh? School teachers ought to be punished more than others for adultery? Wha???

Someone on MatchCut once claimed they had solid proof that God exists.

I don't think we ever got an answer when they were asked about it.

Wow, huge fail on my part.

Remember when I was saying how in real life I'm actually an intelligent person?

Yeah....

In the summer of 2008, Robert Henderson of Grandview, Missouri used a digital camcorder in a theater to record a video of The Dark Knight. His plan was to use that recording to sell DVDs, but he was apprehended as part of an MPAA investigation. We’ve now learned (via The Wrap) that Henderson was recently sentenced for illegally trafficking in counterfit DVDs [PDF]. His punishment? To serve two years in federal prison and to pay $24,738 in fines, followed by three years of probation.

Fucking ridiculous.

It's a board game shop. How cool is that?

Nice! It's great to live close to a FLGS.

I usually tell these people that reading Genesis 1 as myth and allegory does not strip away any of the poetic beauty or divine mystery, but reading it as scientific truth makes a mockery of human understanding and knowledge, both traits granted to us by the divine.

I wish Chuck Swirsky was still on TV. He was the Raptors' play-by-play announcer, but moved to Chicago and is now the radio play-by-play announcer for the Bulls.

God I hope no one watches Jay Leno when he comes back. Those commercials are pissing me off.
