Looks like teachers in Kansas may have to don full pirate regalia while teaching about how the Flying Spaghetti Monster was involved in the creation of the universe. This open letter to the Kansas School Board threatens legal action if additional Intelligent Design theories are not included in the school curriculum.
The Onion has a great future issue on their web site, “The Onion 2056″:”:http://www.theonion.com/2056-06-22/index_b.php. Pretty funny. My favorites:
“Your browser does not support ambient alpha-wave memestreams. Concentrate here to upgrade.”
“Vatican Condemns ‘Radical’ Teachings of The Newly Resurrected Christ.”
“For a less accurate but more reassuring version of these events, press here.”

Then today I ran across this bill he’s introduced to impose 2 years mandatory imprisionment for people who know about someone that smokes pot around a [...]

Somehow that led to me typing in wwjd.com (what would jesus do) just to see where it went and I ended up with this.
I was checking out the feature in BlogPulse that shows you links that are most popular in blogs and I came across a post by a kid being subjected to one of those Christian brainwashing camps that they send their kids to if they find out they’re gay. He posted the rule book to his [...]
So, I’m admittedly a little out of touch with the news and I wasn’t even born yet for the Nixon administration, so please feel free to set me straight if I don’t have it right, but a friend of mine was telling me that “Deep Throat” has now revealed himself and it turns out, he [...]
Fascinating speculation on the motivation behind Apple’s switch to Intel chips.
..”what’s behind the announcement is so baffling and staggering that it isn’t surprising that nobody has yet figured it out until now.
