Theistardery, alive and well in Florida

Via Pharyngula comes (as PZ describes it) "a story that will destroy your hopes for a reasonable humanity".

Remember this next time you hear a Xian call Muslims fanatics.

Should have posted this yesterday.

As I have mentioned previously, I loved "The Muppet Show"

I have no idea when this was made, not from the original show (at least not Sam the American Eagle's part)



Later,

Happy 4th of July

Celebrate the independence of your country by blowing up a small piece of it.
(thanks, Apu)

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go see "Hancock".

Happy Tunguska Day!

Today is the 100th anniversary of the Tunguska Event.

Later,

Will Smith on "The Colbert Report"

Later,

Okay, I do want to go into how bad it was

"The Happening"

Spoilers ahead

Here's what sucked:
(okay, it all sucked, but this is what sucked most)

• Mark Wahlberg is a science teacher. A quote is clearly visible on the chalkboard behind him. It is attributed to Einstein. It is almost certainly bullplop. Wahlberg's character also spouts some non-science woo to his class. The saddest part is that he may just be a pretty accurate depiction of a high school science teacher.
  
• John Leguizamo is a math teacher. He likes to comfort people with made up statistics.
  
• The phrase "act of nature" is used several times. "Nature" here is a stand-in for "God".
  
• Plants (not any specific plant, mind you, plants in general) have suddenly evolved (their word, not mine) to emit a toxin that causes people to commit suicide, because humans are an undeniable threat to the planet. The event is a warning to humans.
  
• Random crazy-hermit-lady
