It's OK, though, you know he's the kind of rotten, self-centered guy who would do that.

OK, it's cute and catchy, but it's also got a very awkward sudden jump from the mammal-like reptiles to the primates, and unfortunately it perpetuates the "evolution as a process on rails" concept by showing a single lineage — ours, of course. Why not show a progression to a modern rose, or a fly…
The bulk of this part of the review is looking at the total train-wreck that is chapter 4, which contains Bittinger's version of dreadful probabilistic arguments for
why Christianity must be true. But before I do that, I need to take care of one loose
end from part 1. I should have included…
I'm obviously always a fan of Greer's work, but I thought this week's post was particularly apt - he addresses the larger question of whether we must keep up industrial civilization until it falls apart (note, I do not say "if it falls apart" - implicit in the keeping up is that it brings us faster…
We have a little war going on in this thread. Some people are arguing that we shouldn't assume human beings are the most important creatures bar none around, while other people are angry that Eric Pianka would have such high regard for other organisms on Earth and would urge us to make room and…
While this did, in fact, make me laugh so hard it hurt (punchline, FTW), I am forever unsatisfied, and found myself desperately wishing they'd also throw in a reference to the MST3K take on The Brain That Wouldn't Die.
Mr Deity has potential.
That is all.
Oy. Still trying to wrap my head around that one.
I didn't really find it funny. The all-time funniest film about a head without a body is still The Brain That Wouldn't Die. It's heads above the rest.
Wait, Salomone is Larry's girlfriend? I thought Larry didn't have genitals, something a lusty gal like her just wouldn't do without.

A new Mr. Deity? Oh Boy!!! That's always a reason to celebrate.
Let's hope he can avoid any head-to-head confrontations.
Of course, rather than a massage, he might like some head.
He could take a college course, and easily go to the head of the class.
Is it bad if my favorite bit was the part at the end where he asks people to donate? "If you're freaked out about me asking for money... you could be pure evil."
I must admit - I thought the begging-part was funnier than the actual episode.
Headless jokes can only be taken that far...

...unless they're mounted on skateboards.
I skipped the begging part, unfortunately, I'll have to go back watch that. I suffer from credititis - when the credits roll, I press "STOP".
@#1: John in the pan?
Meh. The old head through the table schtick. If they really wanted to show some class, they should have done it this way.
BS
Johnny always wanted to get ahead in life.
Presumable people aren't tithing enough to support a good SFX department.
For the last time .... I AM NOT HEADLESS!!!!
Since tvilot is too modest to say, I'll note that Tom Vilot (who played John the Baptist in this BMr Deity episode) is also Skyguy. He explains space & astronomy topics to kids in this video podcast:
