“”What I’m wondering is, how can the fundies possibly find these at all amusing?”
Because they’re operating at the developmental level of preadolescents.”
I don’t think scientists know the answer yet, but so far the results look promising.

“It’s sure easy to make fun of a man that’s 127 years dead.”
I’m not sure that has anything to do with how long he’d been dead. There’s this guy who’s 1986 years dead, and when you make fun of him a lot of people get really pissed off.

The level of fascination with Darwin as an individual is worth noting. This seems to be part of a general problem in that there’s a tendency by creationists to act like Darwin is some sort of religious figure and thus attacking him somehow attacks evolution. Very confusing.

Regarding the last two images, I think the idea is that George W. Bush is going to put creationism back into our schools or something? The other one is maybe about Darwin leading on a misguided brain? Not completely sure.

The guy looking at the hanging chad looks so much like Hyacinth Bucket’s husband (Richard!) in the Brit series _Keeping Up Appearances_ that I have to laugh every time I see that photo.

If Creationists have to sink to corny ad hominem attacks against Darwin it demonstrates just how weak their thinking is. When did roasting a theorist ever disprove the theory? The Catholics tried it with Galileo and look where it got them.

Maybe that picture is saying that Clinton and Darwin had sax!

It’s sure easy to make fun of a man that’s 127 years dead.

The liger one is hilarious because, because ligers are such compelling evidence for speciation.

Last one is obviously trying to say “True — Darwin *had* a monkey brain”

RE: Clinton and Darwin: That Darwin is one sexy bitch!
RE: The liger. Maybe they mistakenly thought that crossing an animal that is a cross between a lion and a tiger would be called a lier, and hence a great place to put Darwin’s head?
RE: The True Origin of Terrorism: That’s Karl Marx there with Darwin. Typical fundie ploy to label anything they see as “anti-American” (like atheism, political dissent, or universal health care) as Communist. I think the text in that one reveals more about the others. If they believe that terrorism really somehow stems from Darwin’s theories, then equating anything related to terrorism (like the flying carpet from Baghdad or Saddam Hussein) with Darwin is fair game. I’m guessing, from the picture, that they also believe that Marx created atheism.
RE: The last pair of pix. I think the first one is in praise of George Bush for figuratively kicking Darwin’s ass. Somehow.
So much ignorance in such a small space!
