I feel like I missed so much. MAJeff organized a gathering of Pharyngula readers, and it sounds like it was great fun, as a group of like-minded godless skeptics and rationalists used my web site as a mere pretext to justify meeting to drink bar and talk. I'm superfluous to the whole affair, which…
Wouldn't it be great if there was some magical institution which mapped out the developmental expression of mouse genes, and then made it freely available on the internet? And wouldn't it be cool if all that data was compiled in an easily-searchable database that was being constantly updated with…
Now here's one thing we skeptics could use more of: Imagine you're moving to a new city, and you want to see what skeptic-themed events or groups are available. Wouldn't it be awesome if there was one central place you could go, plug in the destination, and get a list of skeptical stuff to do? Or,…
As I was kissing the sprogs goodnight last night: Younger offspring: If we get boo-boos more than seven times, do we not heal any more? Elder offspring: Huh?

Didn't you have a video in which an Imam described the virgins he's gonna get in heaven as having pale, translucent skin?

Well, PZ, we are going all out for your visit here but I don't see any notice of it on your blog. We have invited the science faculties of our three Universities, UMD, UWS* and College of Saint Scholastica. Yes catholic but ..........

The * by the U. Wisconsin Superior has to do with their chairman of biology, Prof Seele who declines to attend on the basis that he is a creationist, I think. Who knows perhaps he will show.
When you come I will offer you membership in LSF and will personally pay your dues and initiation fees. ( $00.00 ) just like I did when Richard Dawkins agreed to me a member when I met him again on the Galapagos Trip.

Perhaps you think we at LSF are just some backwater northern central freethought group. Well, yes that is true but we have protected two of our hospitals from catholic restrictions and gotten the ten commands off of city hall lawn. Still, we are a chapter of ffrf and we are arrogant and puffed up with pride that you will visit us.
