pharyngula | November 13, 2010Since the last episode of the thread for obsessive conversationalists was all about that Christian obsession with calling Hitler an atheist, here's another one: religious dupes lying about Einstein to make it sound like he was on their side.

pharyngula | November 4, 2010We seem to be infested with nasty little conservative know-nothings lately, so here's some rodent repellent that the usual denizens of the long-suffering thread will find mostly unobjectionable.

pharyngula | November 2, 2010By request, this open thread is dedicated exclusively to non-political topics. Let's have a race between this one and the political thread and see which can gather the most comments overnight!
The loser thread will be closed tomorrow morning.
pharyngula | November 2, 2010We shall be gnashing our teeth soon enough, so I'm opening a new instance of the constant thread dedicated to all your grousing about the elections. I already did my part and voted a straight Democratic slate, growling at every Rethuglican candidate on the ballot. Too bad that I know exactly how the vote in rural Minnesota will go.
In case there is a diversity of political opinion here, I provide three videos to cover the spectrum. And because some people don't want to talk about politics at all, here's an apolitical thread.

"We're just monkeys in shoes." Love that line.

pharyngula | October 29, 2010What's with the somewhat gleefully morbid turn of conversation in a thread that will not die? It's time to bring on the Death of Rats.

pharyngula | October 26, 2010Did you know that I imagine all you participants in the font of endless typing looking exactly like this couple?

pharyngula | October 24, 2010For this instance of the thread prolonged, I include a video that uses a few naughty words. It's Sunday, though, so you probably won't play it at work. Play it in church instead.

pharyngula | October 21, 2010Ah, the power of teeny-tiny little things nibbling away incessantly, never stopping, adding a little more, bit by bit. I don't know why that comes to mind.

pharyngula | October 18, 2010Wise advice to the heathenish hordes of the profligate thread.

pharyngula | October 9, 2010There's all kinds of depressing economics talk on the thread without an end, so let's cheer everyone up. Just remember, when a ship sinks, one end can rise up into the air, first.

pharyngula | October 6, 2010There is no end to the perpetual conversation because the upcoming new generation is going to be just as 'militant'. Here's a 9th grader showing more maturity and rationality than all the believers.

pharyngula | October 4, 2010Don't worry. I'm just trying to confuse the participants in the very, very long thread.
