Intelligent Grappling is a rival for the atheistic mutual attraction theory of gravity that the secular humanists have been teaching our children. (Via Anyway)

My favorite creationism parody is still Godless Linguistics:

Third, there is NO evidence that transitional languages ever existed. What use is half a language? A noun without verbs conveys no meaning! Sure, there is middle and old- English. But these are ENGLISH! A complete nontransitional language. We do not deny that micro-linguistics can happen, but this process can create only DIALECTS. There is NO EVIDENCE that a series of random micro-linguistic events can create a WHOLE NEW LANGUAGE. I'll believe in Macro-linguistics when I see a video tape of a child growing up in an Eskimo village suddenly become fluent in Armenian! It takes A LOT MORE FAITH to believe in atheistic linguisticism than the truth of Babelism.

Invisible Forces

Wow. I’ve just seen an amazing new presentation concept for web comics — Invisible Forces. Just one chapter so far, barely the beginning of a story, but it’s pretty impressive. It seems to run off of JavaScript, which means I don’t know if it’ll work in every browser, but it’s fine in Safari.

It’s by Tom Stackpole, who also does The Bone Dancer.

But they didn't ask me

I bet that if they’d designed the tag as <lj-account [user|community]="[value]"> instead of <lj [user|community]="[value]">, people would be much less likely to type <lj-user="[value]">.
