Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Perkins Redux! Once more with feline!

I'm not sick, but I got soap up my nose this morning and it still burns.

Hair is cut and I wandered around Ellicott City, which is always nice.

Now I'm home, contemplating cleaning.

Oh & I got a jury summons. I'm trying to remember if I served on the stupidest case ever last summer or the summer before. If it was last summer, I get excused.

Crap, I think it was 2 years ago.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

My number is really high this time, so who knows (I was like 38 before. Why do I remember this?)

There is a squirrel fight in the trees. Maybe 8 squirrels. Devi is FASCINATED.

I need a nap.

Aww I love squirrel fights. We don't get many squirrels out here. Occasionally one will run across the power lines in front of our house but I can't remember the last time I saw more than one playing together.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need a nap.

I had a nap, and a jury summons.

No root though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I posted some of this before, but the site was down. It's still down, but the Google cache is available....

(Note - some of the posts are very offensive.)

Fundies Say The Darnedest Things

Why the King James version of the Bible is the true and original one:

The word of God has been in heaven forever. The KJV has always been there. The so called Hebrew words like Alleluia are English words. The English did not borrow them from the Hebrew but rather the Hebrew borrowed them from the English. If the KJV has always been there and is the original word of God then there is no other conclusion. The same can be said for any so called Greek words that were borrowed from the Greek or transliterated. It is a matter of what bias you approach this particular subject.

...

[in a discussion on whether the speed of light is constant (fundies like to say it isn't)]

Constants seldom are ... pi changes depending upon the strength of the gravitational field involved.

...

Apes are just creatures twisted by Satan to mock Jesus by giving EVILolition credibility. Further more they are naturally lust crazed for human women. Since they are not natural creatures they should be exterminated forthwith as the tools of evil they are.

...

Everyone knows scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for True Christians to refute their claims.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, for example... sounds impressive, right? But have you ever seen what happens if you put something in acid? It dissolves! If we had all this acid in our cells, we'd all dissolve! So much for the Theory of Evolution, Check MATE!

...

You are confusing TECHNOLOGY with SCIENCE.

Technology and science are often lumped together, but are totally separate and unrelated things.

Technology makes peoples lives easier. Technology is the product of inventive geniuses who were inspired by God. Inventions and innovations improve life.

Science causes confustion and makes things complicated. Everytime there is a new discovery the old discoveries and old wisdom are discarded! And theories get more and more complex. Science makes people confused and complicates things. Who is the author of confusion? Satan of course. The bible it the opposite of science. Biblical wisdom NEVER CHANGES, and anyone can get it. Scientific wisdom is always changing and contradicting itself, and really nobody gets it.

Please don't insult our intelligence by lumping science and technology together. They are as different at night and day.

eta: Oh, I forgot the best one:

I can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie
