Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
It looks like a lot of people love xkcd.
It’s never going to end — Ben Stein’s voice still makes me grind my teeth (oh, wait — Stein’s voice did that to me even before he made Expelled). Now here’s another parody of his horrible little movie, with a little name check of yours truly in there.
This article on why an octopus is more awesome than your mom is generally accurate and valid — octopuses probably are more awesome than your mom — but suffers a bit from an incomplete survey of moms. The author has not met the awesome mom of me, nor is he acquainted with the ferocious Trophy Wife™, who also happens to moonlight as the indomitable Trophy Mother™.
Otherwise, though, it is an acceptable overview of octopodal merits.
At least we still have the Narwhal song.
I’d recommend that every school board member who proposes that we teach both sides of the evolution “controversy” view this movie, except they’re usually such delicate prudes who get outraged at tone that they’d probably have a heart attack at the profanity in this clip.
Wait…maybe that’s an additional reason they should watch it!
Those cunning rascals Jesus and Mo also link to a poll…but it’s not the one in the comic, but a poll asking what the best webcomic is. I guess you can go crash that one, then.
I especially like the snark at the end. This stuff isn’t hard. It ought to be part of the basic toolkit for critical thinking that kids get out of sixth grade.
I commend Chris Mooney for being so open-minded that he was willing to guest-author a comic on Jesus & Mo.
Every guy in the world knows that this was so true.
It’s also perfectly in character for Jehovah, who is obsessed with that thing.
Ol’ Carl, the Australian young earth creationist, got all bent out of shape at the disrespect we gave to his freak show and is appalled that atheists are having a convention in Melbourne, and so now he has come out with a video reply to the whole affair.
I’ve always wanted to grow up to be a Soviet armor division.
