Author and blogger John Scalzi has posted an amusing report of his visit to the Creation Museum.
Some time ago he said that he’d visit the museum, which was built near his home, on the condition that his readers donated $250, with the added incentive that any extra money would be given to Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. His readers came through and donated over $5000.
So he went, took a bunch of pictures, and posted a very thorough report.
An excerpt:
Here’s how to understand the Creation Museum:
Imagine, if you will, a load of horseshit. And we’re not talking just your average load of horseshit; no, we’re talking colossal load of horsehit. An epic load of horseshit. The kind of load of horseshit that has accreted over decades and has developed its own sort of ecosystem, from the flyblown chunks at the perimeter, down into the heated and decomposing center, generating explosive levels of methane as bacteria feast merrily on vintage, liquified crap. This is a Herculean load of horseshit, friends, the likes of which has not been seen since the days of Augeas.

Yorkshire…I need geography lessons
so people from there like sheeps?
@Captain Codpiece- “most of their churches are pubs and dancehalls” Well Weather Spoons are everywhere these days. Better use of the churches, they were closed anyway.
Hmmm…. Worship of beer? Think there is a religious undertone to Weather Spoons? Possibly in line with the CoFSM?
North of England, but Alchemist has denied being English from time to time. Not sure about the preferences of everyone there, but he certainly likes his sheep.
hahahaahahahahaha…I thought he was english—
@storm petrel- “Alchemist is from Yorkshire” with all the sheep shagging comments I thought he was Welsh! Sorry Alchemist.
.
@PacificPam- In the USA the hicks come mainly from the south, in England they come from the north. Must have something to do with being so close to the Scottish.
According to him, Yorkshire isn’t really part of England, it just officially is.
Wait…so they think they are a different country?
.
Hahahahahaha Alchemist is a hick!

@Pluto - My leg went numb…hahahah…rings a bell?
