Random Quote
If science is to progress, what we need is the ability to experiment, honestly in reporting the results— the results must be reported without somebody saying what they would like the results to have been— and finally— an important thing— the intelligence to interpret the results. An important point about this intelligence is that it should not be sure ahead of time what must be. It cannot be prejudiced, and say 'That is very unlikely; I don't like that'.
Richard Feynman (The Character of Physical Law)

Ooh, but you see, the probability of those changes exhibiting specified complexity is a constant divided by the time, so nothing new ever happens.

Wow. Funny, and I wish I could use this in my high school classroom, but of course I can't. For that matter, the cartoonist will be the subject of a fatwa once certain Muslims get wise to this one. Islam has always prohibited any visual representation of the Prophet, and I don't think calling him 'Mo' is going to placate some folks...SH

Hey thanks! I wonder why I never see these cartoons in my local family newspaper? Hmmm...
I also wonder why the cartoonist never shows the barmaid. I bet she's hot.

I love the look on Jesus's face. He just got pwned by a bug. It is a bug, right? I can't really tell.

Thank you, thank you PZ for introducing me to Jesus and Mo! When I looked at yesterday's strip I had tears rolling down my face at Mo's line "Does a bear transubstantiate?"
Thanks also for the post on alcohol and evolution. It really helped to crystalize microbial metabolism for me in a way I will never forget. Science should be fun. It sticks better that way. And Apikoros, I AM that barmaid (twenty years!).

Stuart: It's someone behind our POV, presumably Mo.
Posted by: David Harmon | September 26, 2006 1:11 PM
Correction: The invisible person is an apparently-anonymous barmaid. I was a little slow on the uptake.
Posted by: jmo | September 26, 2006 1:11 PM
I am the author of Jesus and Mo, and I can confirm that the barmaid is hot.
(Thanks for the link, PZ)

Holy crap, this comic is genius.

These are great, aren't they? I even found the one where the hotness of the barmaid is revealed:

So, kmiers, which one is it? Please post a picture. And by the way, just how many nights a week do you get Jesus and Mohammed in your bar?
Posted by: Apikoros | September 26, 2006 4:28 PM
Sorry, messed up the link. I'm only a biologist, folks.

What is a "Baby Spice"? That said, I would have to say Pamela Anderson. Before the boob job. And I thank whatever is is I feel like attributing satisfaction to THIS week that most of my clients are more enlightened than J 'n' Mo. After all I have been cultivating toward this outcome for many years. J and Mo feel uncomfortable sitting at my bar.
Posted by: MarkW | September 27, 2006 6:01 AM
A "Baby Spice" is Emma Bunton, the blonde from The Spice Girls. http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=emma%20bunton
(some of those might not be 100% work-safe)
My first comment on pharyngula is about the Spice Girls. Who'd a thunk it?

Wow, that's wierd. I actually look kinda like this:
