Falwell’s Flub: Jerry-Rigged Policy Opens Door For Pagan Proselytizing In Virginia Public School
A group of Pagans in Albemarle County, Va., was recently given permission to advertise their multi-cultural holiday program to public school children – and they have the Rev. Jerry Falwell to thank for it.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Nice to know you under you old name, nice to know you under your new name. Bit of a pity that it doesn’t mean a new Dutch convert though.

Well I did convert two collegues at work, but they prefer to just read here, they don’t post (yet). One other collegue prefers the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

It is worth pointing out to MI5 that the CoFSM is an entirely peaceful organisation and our interests in military hardware and nuclear weapons are soley for the purposes of defence.
Unlike Tony Blair who as much as admits he wants this stuff to start more wars!
He’s the Nutcase.
We only believe the world was created in around 1.6 seconds by a flying spaghetti monster.
TB believes we can make the world more peaceful and everyone get along better by invading more countries and killing more people.
You guys should be spying on him not us!

Thanks P#5,
I’ve been over to that blog putting the boot in to PB and McIntosh:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/2007/01/the_thermodynamics_of_andy_mci.html
It isn’t appropriate on the blog but has anyone pointed out that reading PBs blogs there appears to be evidence that some (limited) advantage can be had from having half a brain, eyes and feathers don’t seem much different.
I lost the plot when he/she felt it was actually material that a coach and horses doesn’t just dismantle itself and rebuild itself as a plane.

I have just spent the day (when I wasn’t refereeing WW3 with the boys or spending £104 on new shoes ARGH!) reading the above posted blog – fucking hell! Pardon my language, but my brain is leaking out of my ears now!
What is wrong with that guy?
PB – if you are reading this – can you answer me one simple little question?
What DO you believe in?
You say you are an evolution sceptic – ignorant, but there you go, people are allowed to be ignorant, but then you say you don’t necessarily believe in Creationism – so how DO you think life came to be?
C’mon – you must have a pet theory?
I have one about the perception of time – probably total bollocks as I only have GCSE Physics, but it’s mine and I am proud of it – I’ll share if you will :)
And do try and pay attention when people are doing their best to explain things to you – sticking your fingers in your ears and going “Lalalalalala” isn’t helping.

Radon, the pastafarians friend :). I once went on a trip around Sellafield. They had all this “Mighty Atom” stuff around. It was hilarious. We had a talk about Pierre and Marie Curie. When they asked if anyone had any questions, someone asked “what did Marie Curie die of?” I was in the dog house with my ex for the rest of the day.

Stupidity is forgivable, it’s not the person’s fault they’re not as intellegent as you, ignorance on the other hand is purposful, and rude if someone tries to explain to you, that’s why I said he should talk to someone who has studied biology, if you’re face to face with someone, it really is just too much to ask a question and ignore the answer, on the internet he can just skim posts, not really reading them at all

@ Clapran – I totally agree – ignorance in this case is very rude – I wasn’t expressing myself very well as my ears are still bleeding!
@Alchemist – why were you in the doghouse – sounds perfectly reasonable to me – when we had our radiation lesson at school they had some stuff in a leadlined box – they got it out and waved a gigacounter over it which ticked alarmingly – then they put it away and told us it was “safe” –
“So wave the gigacounter over the box then” I said
The teacher refused initially, but when a few of us insisted she did – and the think ticked quite a bit again!!!!
Needless to say I was not impressed with her explanation that it was perfectly safe!

I bloody hated it – loathed it from the minute a girl in our class lit a bunsen burner and a 4 foot tutti frutti coloured flame leapt out and took off her eyebrows.
I was told I had to do it in order to become a nurse (bollocks as it turned out) so I did GCSE and got a B – not bad for someone hiding at the back every time a bunsen burner was lit!

I always loved playing with the bunsen burners in Chemistry, there were two or three of us who kept trying to get the biggest flames, easily amused, I know. People also set the fire alarms off all the time doing flame tests in chemistry, and because my school was so old and made of wood, well, the building with the labs at any rate, we all had to get out while they made sure the school wasn’t burning down, usually took the best part of a whole class.

Hahaha. I’m one of the “did I just think that or say it out loud” types.
School chemistry was an absolute laugh. Did you do the ‘turn on all the gas taps and switch the gas off at the mains’ trick. Or plug a burner into the water tap? We used to play “sink chemistry”. Pour whatever you could get your hands on into the sink and see what happens. Magnesium ribbon used to disappear faster than booze at an Oliver Reid party.
Of course, we grew up and more sensible.

@ booty, Uraninite is uranium and thorium dioxide, the ore of uranium (otherwise known as pitchblende)
I was making an reference to it being radioactive and thus enough of it together makes the house warm through radioactive decay. Awww! now look! I just explained the joke!
.
Anyway, they got so much of this stuff out of the mines in the nineteenth century in heaps that would be considered radioactive waste today, not so much in this part of cornwall, but st. austell was well known all kinds of rare radioactive minerals.

I always thought the iodine snake was great fun, again, easily amused. The gas mains were in a different room to the chemistry lab, big room, split in two, one half was physics, where nothing worked, the other half was chemistry, where volatile chemicals were stored on old wooden shelves right above the radiators, with a crack on the wall behind them, we weren’t really allowed near the chemicals very often…

Best thing we did in high school chemistry class was mixing Al file dust and grains of I. If you put water on that mix, it will produce thick purple smoke. So we thought up two good gags:
1) put a mixture of the two in the sink on a day when you know the teacher will demonstrate some little test. In the end he pours the water used in the test down the sink and……class laughed for minutes.
2) put a mixture of the two in the plant pots. We were not there unfortunately when they were watered and it was bhefore the time when you would have installed a stealthy wbcam somewhere. But you can imagine.

I always had a problem (when I couldn’t be assed wearing gloves) with Crystal Violet when doing gram stains. (BTW I’m quite well known for my excellent gram stains….true)
Without fail I’d pick up the bottle after someone had sloppily spilt it all down the sides and have to walk around with purple hands (often wiped onto my labcoat as well) for most of the day. When your in a microbio building everyone knows what it is as well.
It was kind of embarrassing.
