A Fast Threesome

I have three quick notes worth mentioning this morning.
Note 1: Oops!
I found this amusing inconsistency over at Futility Closet:
In The City of God, Augustine raises a curious question: How did Methuselah survive the flood? According to the Septuagint, the patriarch was 355 years old when Noah was born, and the deluge occurred 600 [...]

Wing-Nut Photo of the Week

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I found this on Snopes:

Here’s a quiz: What was Snopes’ determination about this picture?

I hope you got our quiz question correct!
The sad fact, though, is that most of this picture’s target audience will get that question wrong.
Why is that? After all, their brains appear to have the capacity to process the image critically.

Imagine How Much They’d Spend if They Weren’t “Conservative”

I received an email from Mike Huckabee. After discovering in 2008 that there weren’t quite enough fundies (yet) to propel him into the White House, he formed a political action committee. The purpose was to continue to tap fundies for as much money as he could while using that [...]

(Caption by Eightfold)
I bet you guys thought I forgot about this! Way back in August, I posted this genuine bona-fide Astroboy comic book scene and asked if anybody could come up with some good captions. I was expecting to get back to it a couple of weeks later. What I didn’t count [...]

Pray 4 Trig

Monday, January 11th, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, Jeff Eyges alerted me to the website Pray 4 Trig, and it’s a fundie winner! Its subtitle tells us that its purpose is to organize a “Worldwide Day of Prayer to Heal Trig Palin”.
The home page is set up as a FAQ.
Q: So what makes this particular prayer so [...]

It Only Hurts When I Play

Here’s an excerpt from The Onion:
Fun Toy Banned Because Of Three Stupid Dead Kids

WASHINGTON, DC—In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Wizco Toys of Montclair, NJ, recalled 245,000 Aqua Assault RoboFighters Monday after three dumb kids managed to kill themselves playing with the popular toy, ruining the fun for everybody else.

Merry Xmas Obama, from Your Friends at WND

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Those wonderful theocratic Constitution-haters over at WorldNutDaily are always running polls. Their latest one is “What would you like to give Obama for Christmas?”
The poll isn’t quite over, but I think the trend is clear. Let’s see what the folks who are supposed to be full of love for their fellow man think [...]

Conservapedia: Masters of Deceit

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

(From DJBrianE’s Flickrstream)
I went by Conservapedia the other day to see what their most popular articles are. A year or so back, almost everything on that list had to do with homosexuality. I’d say they were a bit fixated over there. I was rather surprised to see a much more balanced list [...]
