Is it just me or is there some kind of cultural connection amongst humans between the moon and insanity? I first noticed it when I learned the phrase “esta en la luna” (in the moon) in Spanish which is a way of saying absent-minded. I then made the connection between “Luna” and “lunatic” and “loonies” [...]

Al Gore Remix
Alright, alright… so I have been neglecting my blog quite a bit. I’ve been out of town and I’ve been taking finals for my summer college classes and I haven’t changed Quote of the Week nor done Ignunt Fool of the Week. I’m sorry*. Anyway, I’m breaking the silence by posting a video of Al [...]

The Sky is Falling!
Now that PZ has successfullly desecrated his cracker piece of the body of Christ, I’ve received a message from the “Fire Paul Zachary Myers” Facebook group. In His own words: “Yes, the sad little cracker has met its undignified end, so stop pestering me. The cracker, the koran, and another surprise entry have been violated [...]

“Strange” Rock
Look everybody! It’s a strange rock! Well, folks. I suppose we were wrong about aliens. Roswell has been contacted by extraterrestrials again. The Roswell Daily Record is reporting that they’ve found a “strange rock” that is raising questions. A strange rock with unusual magnetic properties – deeply scored, with what appears to be moon phases, [...]

For the Record
This is just a comment which I left on Friendly Atheist which I feel summarizes my personal feelings about Thrawn’s “Piss Off the Catholics Month.” Because of the whole co-author situation, there has been some confusion in the past over who was posting what on my blog. For the record, “Piss Off the Catholics Month” [...]

OUT Campaign!
I’ve been keeping a dirty secret from all of you… I’m an Atheist! I’m coming out as an Atheist! Well, okay, I imagine y’all already know that so… my real reason for this sloppyish pasting together of pictures to illustrate everything that I’m saying in the narrative is because there’s the possibility of winning free [...]
