From the mouths of moms

It turns out that my mom’s a Creationist. It all began with my asking her if she believed in Evolution (I should know to never ask my mom these questions. She inevitably disappoints me), and she said no. I asked…

How to avoid getting a ticket

I just Metapost I didn’t like

Wow. I’m a copy cat. Check out this post, now check out this one. I didn’t even intend that, I’m just so similar to myself that I post the same things every eight months. I wonder how often that’s happened……

Open Letter to François Tremblay

Give Up?

Vegan misconceptions

First of all, this comment, “Raising a child as a vegan is child abuse, malnutrition. I can’t believe you would post this on a public blog and not apologize. Forget about me hanging around on this blog, you’re a disgusting…

Sorry mailing list people, I’m messing with my template. You understand. Can I read this on the main page? That is the question Below the Fold

I have faith in reason

Ouch. This quiz courtesy of Master Monk. My sympathies to anyone who tries to answer this quiz without contradicting him I’m thinking it’s impossible. Jesus/God/Trinity ————————— Is Jesus a separate entity manifested by God or is he God personified? Explain.…

I, Kid
