A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider God-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, wrongly believing that he has the Gods on his side.
–Aristotle, Politica bk v (ca. 340 BCE)

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

I’m not sure… it was my property manager’s husband (a couple years ago). I thought there was a mouse/rat in my wall and I called her to see what I should do about it and she told me the story. As far as my wall goes… it turned out to be a great big frog stuck in a paper shopping bag and he was trying to hop out… so all you could hear in the middle of the night was “scratch scratch scratch!” It was so funny. I felt like such an idiot when I called her back to tell her it was a frog.

Speaking of shotgun overkill, there was an article in the paper the other day about a guy down here trying to change his tire. He couldn’t get the last lug nut off, so he decided the easiest way to free it up would be with, you guessed it, a shotgun, at point blank range. They didn’t say if he succeeded in loosening the nut, but he did succeed in peppering himself, head to toe, with #6 shot. He was in ICU as of the printing of the article. Stupid people.

@rmw- She did take the piss out of herself for that comment on the Jack and Karen show (known by some as Will and Grace. You know? The US rip off of Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!).
But then that girl is so flip floppy that a court decided K-Fed was a better parent than him.

“In 2006, the dog shit Bush parade is still going strong. Police say they are completely baffled as to who might be responsible….
Legal experts claim there’s no law against using dog shit as a flag stand, although Federal legal analysts warn the Constitution is vague on the issue.”

Incidentally, one of my coworkers just told us a story about watching a guy taking a dump in the middle of the street. Ah, only in Romania. (And yeah, what the hell is with this website and links?

@PacificPam- They where to only real reason to watch that show. Most of the people I’ve talked to about it agree.
Gimme Gimme Gimme was the English show that came years before.

Lynda and Tom are like Jack and Karen, which is probably why those two character are so popular over here, I don’t know about else where.

@pieces o’ nine–technically, I don’t live *in* COS either. 15 minutes south more like. But still, any Pastafarian helps. And honestly, CO is going more “purple” than “red.” We do have democrats in office. It’s just COS and El Paso county (where Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas are at, for those of you who might actually give a damn) are red, red, red, red, red, red. Remember: God=Good, Democrats=Bad/Satan. (If it weren’t for the mountains and reasonable driving distance for skiing, all hope would be lost for Colorado Springs.)

@jennyanydots – Where do I find one of those “saintly” memory sticks? I’ve been trying to master computers for a few years now. Would it help?
.
@rmw & pieces o’ nine – COS used to be such a nice little place to visit; and take one’s guests to see the Garden of the Gods, and the Falls, even the Zoo up by the Broadmoor. Then, on to Manitou Springs and the cog railway; and if time permitted, a drive to the top of Pike’s Peak. Ah! The “good old days” are gone forever!
.
I can’t even begin to imagine showing off Dobson’s dump as a Colorado tourist site; but, it has its own exit off I-25, sort of in competition with the Chapel of the 12 Apostles and the 5 Committeemen across the highway a bit at Fly-Boy High. (Pluto does refer to a “Grumpy old dude” on another line; and I’ll accept the description.)
.
The old tunnel on the road to Criple Creek closed off, for a road capable of accomodating all the buses headed for the casinos, and . . . . Enough already! Getting old, and bringing up memories, is out of fashion these days.
.
Anyway, snow on the back range – not really enough, but still a beautiful backdrop to sunset the past few days – and the City and County Building all lit up again, things aren’t altogether bad at that. Hope you both have a wonderful Holiday Season.
