LOL…you’re so cute. :)

So y’all are familiar with the New-Age movement where any old bullshit is accepted and respected as a religion, right?
Well, some of these loonies think the world’s going to end in 2012 based only on the misinterpretation of a Mayan Calandar.
Okay…so there’s a Facebook Group called ‘Shut Up, The World Won’t End in 2012‘ which [...]

Back in a bit…but for now, bugs in the news!

Yeah…sorry I haven’t kept up with the bug-blogging as of late. Had a few things going on in my life…but I dare not turn this into a ‘bitch-about-my-life’ blog. There are far too many of those and quite frankly, my strifes aren’t that interesting.
So…let’s go through some of the news that’s been brewing since my [...]

Why does this not surprise me?

If you’re interested in biology…if you watch documentaries, you’re familiar with David Attenborough. Turns out that he gets hate mail for not accrediting everything to an invisible man.
Sir David Attenborough has revealed that he receives hate mail from viewers for failing to credit God in his documentaries. In an interview with this week’s Radio Times [...]

Those poor, persecuted religous folks

PZ Myers of Pharyngula already did a post about this insane top ten list of supposed persecution from the Christian News Wire. Most of it’s pretty much made up bullshit or completely blown out of proportion, but there’s something that I’m surprised he missed because it’s a hell of a lot worse than any of [...]

Science Journalism and Blogging

So I haven’t been on the blogosphere for too long, but my weblog is just starting to get some decent traffic (mostly as a result of the researchblogging posts I try to do about once a week or so) and I’m just becoming aware of some of the conflicts that take place regularly on the [...]

And once again, we have an idiot unable to understand Athiests

Ray Comfort laments about how Athiests don’t have their own music.
I was listening to the Hallelujah Chorus of Handel’s Messiah recently and thinking about what atheists have as an equivalent. An equivalent? They don’t have a Bible, they don’t belong to a Church, they don’t have a relationship with God, and they don’t have their [...]

Rant Puppets for the Win!

They it right on the head…with a banana.

OMG! Captian Planet did an episode on insecticide resistance!

Remember the old kid’s show Captian Planet?
I got bored today during my O-chem lab time (I need my partner’s data…she’ll get there about 2:30 or so, hopefully) so I decided to look around on youtube. What did I find? An episode of Captian Planet which deals with insecticide resistance!
Let’s see how accurate it is, shall [...]

Terrorists have no religion? Yeah…right.

Aamir Kahn is a pretty big star in Bollywood…which is kind of like our version of Hollywood. He’s been watching his country be torn apart by a massive terrorist attack which has so far killed about 200 people. The death toll’s gonna rise as things are cleaned up.
Nobody really knows who’s behind it as of [...]

Rezpektez teh opinenz!!!1!!1!!!

Matt Nisbet made a post yesterday which I found interesting.
As I understand his position, he’s essentially criticizing what he views as labeling the other side a debate as a means of argument.
In theory, he’s right. However, it seems he’s never been here on the interwebs.
