I just finished a back to back viewing of Ben Stein’s “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” and Bill Maher’s Religulous. Seeing them both juxtaposed so closely to one another was very interesting. In particular, I took away from the rapid succession watching that the films are nearly identical in attitude, willingness to misrepresent, and ( Read more... )

Here's a meme that I'm meta-completing. It's written in a way to clearly show which answer is "right," and seems to be pretty popular. For any given question, I'll list why it's inane and full of weasel words in addition to answering it.

This whole post is based on one hypothetical question. What would be the result of infinite processing power? Assume that you have a black box that has infinite memory and will calculate any value that can be computed within a finite period of time, then return it to you instantly ( Read more... )

This is a meme that I’m starting up based on a writing exercise I saw a few years back and have been curious to try. I sat down and typed out the first four paragraphs that came into my head. Anyone who wants to continue with the first four paragraphs that pop into theirs, comment below and make an entry on your own journal that expands on what’s ( Read more... )

The whole thing was set up like a theme park in that there were maps of what routes to follow, snack stands periodically and a full on cafeteria part way through. I guess Sweden is even bigger on consumer whoring than we ( Read more... )

Here's a meme that I ganked from Atara a week or so back and only just completed now.

What is your favorite decadent food?

Chocolate souflet cheesecake. No contest.

What is your favorite dish to make? ( Read more... )

The first delight is California's legalization of gay marriage.
faggotry!

The second delight is antithetical to the first. The new Jack Chick tract is about evolution:
Chick TractI especially like the asterisk leading to the claim that the King James Bible is a moral absolute. All else aside, the fact that they specify the KJV reminds me that ( Read more... )

Let’s see… it’s been a while since I’ve written in here. I do have an interesting story to tell, though. There was almost a shootout at my house last Monday. No joke. As a result, I’m moving out… but I’ll get to that later ( Read more... )

This is something that's been bouncing around the inside of my head for a while which I've been meaning to post. Constructive criticism welcome from anyone who takes the time to read. ^^
