Round up

This could be one of those nights. As in there is no real focus to this post.

For instance, the juvenile side of my brain found this item really funny (just click the link). To be honest I think the copywriter of this story took some liberties with the translations.

And then there is the whole Kansas Board of Education and their decision to add Intelligent Design to the science curriculum (sorry that part belongs over in the religion department, biology is how not why). This whole idea of teaching the controversy of evolution is a sham in my eyes, as evolution itself is not the controversy. Thankfully the followers (and creators) of the Flying Spaghetti Monster have come to the rescue. If ID is to be taught in Kansas class science class rooms then proponets of the FSM want a piece. Look, I'm sympathetic to religious beliefs. In fact, over the years I've concluded that at some point a higher intelligence probably started this whole thing off. But I don't think it belongs in a science class. Higher powers are beliefs, science is facts or at least reproducible results.

And of course what would tonight be without a couple of videos? Here's a cool one of the Earth spinning and flying away. Or how about a high speed camera video of a ball dropping in sand?

Oh yeah and as always PostSecret updates every Sunday.
