Open thread! This is a neat little film:

A transmission from the fictitious television network The Voice. Fundamental Christians and Muslims have finally found out that their basic values are pretty much the same. They join forces and take command of the prosperous northern hemisphere. The rest of the planet is about to be sealed off by a giant world wide wall.

ScienceBlogs is making a big deal of heading towards 500,000 comments but PZ's comment numbering had already reached #c555536 (albeit with #c555535 missing from his Recent Comments list) when I started this post.

This is a test - of whether the inclusion of a link is what is now causing my comments to be blocked (or if things have cleared up as mysteriously as they went wrong).
