While we’re on the subject of denialists and cranks, this piece of paleo-crank-ology made me laugh. Seriously, how can these people still bear to stand up in public and say the same things they’ve always said? Don’t they realise they look like fools?

Insane school rules
A couple of years ago, during the Kitzmiller vs Dover area School District case, I was pretty shocked by the behaviour of some members of the board that had tried to force ID into the science classroom. I’m starting to wonder if that was a special case, or if the whole purpose of school boards… Read more »
Let me guess; God hates Juries now, as well?
I’m glad to report that the Westboro Baptist Church has been ordered to pay $2.9m in damages to the father of a marine, who’s funeral they picketed last year. This despite their claims that they were merely exercising their right to express their religion. Remember that that expression involves showing up at people’s funerals and… Read more »
Weasel words
The South West Trains FAQ tells me whether I can expect to be able to access the net on their trains any time this decade: Q: Does South West Trains have plans to introduce Wireless Internet (WiFi) capability on its trains? This would be a welcome addition. A: Most train companies are considering the feasibility of introducing WiFi. It is not easy,… Read more »
Idiots liberate pet rabit
The interwebs are just full of stories that would be funny if they weren’t depressing at the moment. It’s not quite as extreme as claiming that condoms give you AIDS, but this theft of a Kindergarden’s pet rabbit does fit the bill. Not just because some poor rabbit has just had it’s quality (or duration)… Read more »
Condoms give you AIDS now?
The Catholic Church’s consistent anti-contraception stance is one of the best examples of blind adherence to outmoded religious thought doing actual, measurable harm in the world today. Not only does it excaserbate population pressure, increase poverty, and lead to unwanted (and therefore unloved) children, it is also a major contributor to the continued spread of… Emphasis mine: possibly the best rpg this year on PC, 25 Jul 2007 By P.

Miss Teen South Carolina
So, by now everyone’s heard of Miss Teen South Carolina, and her slightly… incoherent response to the question “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the United States on a world map. Why do you think is?”: I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some…people out… Read more »
Mental Note: Never go to Texas
I know it might sound like obvious advice, but reading this really hammers the point home. Basically, it looks like they’ll convict (and execute, this is Texas, remember) you for a murder committed by someone you were with. I really wonder how they keep a straight face when they call themselves “the land of the… Read more »
Microsoft discovers why centralised software validation is a bad idea
When microsoft launched Windows XP, and it required “activation” with a central server before it would work, everyone thought it was a good idea. When they launched “genuine advantage,” which strengthened the protection by requiring more frequent checks against the server (previously it had only checked at install time,) everyone said it was definitely a… Read more »
