Must catch up on neglected linkage. Must take nap. Everyone is on their own for a little while as I try to get my brain out of its fog. I'm too old to skip an entire night's worth of sleep.

Random Quote
The scientist, by the very nature of his commitment, creates more and more questions, never fewer. Indeed the measure of our intellectual maturity, one philosopher suggests, is our capacity to feel less and less satisfied with our answers to better problems.

Archaeologists discover 8-million-year-old forest in Hungary
Six meters of sand in a "sudden" sandstorm? Perhaps climate change is not as benign as the right wing apologists would have us believe.

Here's a twist on the old "teach the controversy" line that I haven't seen before.

The satirical blog, Baptists for Brownback has a comment on the Scarlet A campaign... They've decided to copyright the remaining 25 letters of the alphabet in the name of Christianity, which has led to one of the funniest things I've ever read.
Please enjoy.

Donal Rumsfeld "accidentally" leaked name of Abu Ghraib whistle blower
Posted by: Derek Bartholomaus | August 6, 2007 5:28 PM
Hi there.
Long time reader, first time poster.
I was at the YearlyKos Convention and during the breakout session with Sen. John Edwards I got the opportunity to ask him about how he planned to address the concerns of atheists who are put off by politicians always using religious language. He had a very good answer saying that he preferred to use the language of morality rather than the language of faith because the President needs to represent everyone whether they believe in the Christian God, some other form of god, or no god at all. He asked me if I had any objection to his using the word "moral" and I said no, "you don't need to believe in God to be moral" and that comment elicited a round of applause from the room.
I wrote about this in my DailyKos Diary and it has sparked a lot of comment discussion over there. If you are interested in reading the full account you can go here:

Thanks.

Oh, man, did I mess up.
I'm really sorry about that booby explosion up there. I've been working on some command-line posting utilities and it looks like I've got an error in there that created booby-apocalypse.

A booby-apocalypse wouldn't be such a bad way to go, you know.

So many boobies!
In other news, the Library of Congress properly sorts Bibles into the BS subclass. Google "Library of Congress Classification System" to check it out (Scienceblogs isn't letting me post URLs...)

I'm surprised I haven't seen a comment about these Jesus Toys yet.
I hope this doesn't cause another booby-apocalypse.
