But you should still watch this retelling of the ID saga, as it would be written by Dr Seuss.
Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal

…Jesus was not as peaceful as commonly believed, and that his actual teachings did not represent a fundamental break with the tradition of Jewish military messianism. A strong pro-zealot-bandit and anti-Roman bias probably pervaded his original ministry. The decisive break with the Jewish messianic tradition probably came about only after the fall of Jerusalem, when the original politico-military components in Jesus' teachings were purged by Jewish Christians living in Rome and other cities of the empire as an adaptive response to the Roman victory.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

OMG! ROFLMAO! What more can you say?

A little weak in the causal regime.
Plus, Sal has always liked both rehashed and original Ken Ham (he's at least been YEC most of the time since we've encountered him).
Cute, though.
God made the pig's ham/the same day he made Adam/ancestor of Ken Ham. I like it on the train/on the plane/and scrambling my brain. Sal-I-am/with a skull full of spam.

Hee hee. That was pretty cute. I especially liked the Monty Python God popping open the ID-denier's brain and letting his brain bounce out as being the only way to make ID believable.

Well done, but still uneasy to see Darwin's head on a plate! It should have been a huge hambone with the note "Ken" on it! Even funnier!

Uh ... you mean he wasn't the original author?

#8 That was great!
- So the UNIcorns may have one OR TWO horns, and
- While they are slightly smaller than elephants, they skip like calves?
- Best of all, the entry was tagged as "semi-technical", that has to mean something like "kind'a like true, but not exactly".

Sigh...
I find the occasional new and unused copy of P&P for $0.50-$2.00
Then I sell it on Amazon as new for about $25
It can be green, sometimes.

Until recently I was a frequent participant in an atheist forum. In one the lighter sections was a "Challenge" thread in which I was once challenged to make a video of myself reading "Green Eggs and Ham" like a preacher. The result can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irwZqeaRdFI

If you want "Green Eggs and Ham" read by a real preacher, check out Jesse Jackson on SNL (Eulogizing the good doctor).

Couldn't read it. The pictures were too small and the text too blotchy.
Flash 9 works fine on FireFox 3 OTOH.

Update: The slide show didn't work. If you're going to put some pictures up on the web, self host. Gallery scripts are available most anywhere, and a number of web host offer self-installation scripts. Hell, I can get a gallery installed at my place and host a better slide show than Photo-Bucket does. I could do it using WordPress and the basic page template.

#17 Alan, thanks for comments.
I have moved the slideshow to Picasa and linked through my blog.
Hope that works better.

FUN-NEEEEEEEEEEE! But I thought the ending was kind of weak.

I wanted a bleak nihilistic conclusion that would leave the viewer with an uneasy understanding of the contradictions and compromises at the heart of bourgeois morality. But the studio said test screenings in Nebraska showed that Arnie blowing up the alien monster would up the demographic 30 points.
