Clearly a result of the London Pirate Demonstration - A recent statement by the UK prime minister includes the following:
The Government is clear that creationism and intelligent design are not part of the science National Curriculum programmes of study and should not be taught as science.
The full statement can be found here
The Church is funded entirely by your purchases of FSM merchandise. Thank you for your support.
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

Ooooh…what I really meant to say was: Based in QLD, the home of the Mighty Maroons :))

Hmmm….being as you are from Adelaide, perhaps I should have said “Home of the Brisbane Bears” :))
I’m out of here again I’m afraid. May be around a little later this evening. (OZ time :))

Morning Nikkiee, if you are still here.
Hi Lady Octarine, do we know you?
By the way, we were all shortening our names down again in celebration of RECENT COMMENTS being back! (Although it is of course very lovely!)
Short name restored!
I bet some of you Americans are regretting that whole independence thing as being a bit rash now!
It would be nice if we, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, made a similar decision.

@۞: But the United States Constitution is so wonderfully quotable, as evidenced only a few lines up!

The declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights are fine documents.
You need to lose the bearing arms thing or at least re-interpret it in a way more appropriate for the modern world, but other than than that they are a brilliant attempt to establish a society based on freedom and equality including religious freedom and equality.

You really don’t spend enough time with your fore-fathers!
