The Rabbit Hole

Ah, here's some:

This tax evasion thing sure is nabbing a lot of people, isn't it? At least in this case, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. (Even writing that ironic-like made me shudder because there is nothing remotely nice about this douchebag.)

Stephen King = MADE OF WIN Not that he's saying anything earth-shattering, but because it's him saying it, it's all good. I like his sense of whimsy about these things. He's someone who was constantly derided as being low-class when it came to literature but who has come to be better appreciated with time. So he knows quite clearly that finding fault with certain writers' abilities isn't a knock on them, really--they suck, but hey, they sell books, and the benefits all writers, really. Especially given the way publishing has been circling the drain.

I got your intermediate fossils RIGHT HERE!

Thanks to darkling1 for the heads up on this: A Trip to the Creation Museum.

I just did a spit-take of mine own over this part: Did you know, for example, that Adam is responsible not only for the fall of man, but also for the creation of venom? It didn’t exist in the Garden of Eden, because, well. Why would it? Weeds? Adam’s fault. Carnivorous animals (and, one assumes, the occasional carnivorous plant)? Adam again. Entropy? You guessed it: Adam. Think about that, won’t you; eat one piece of fruit and suddenly you’re responsible for the inevitable heat death of the universe. God’s kind of mean.

And this: It’s one thing to say to people that God directly created the dinosaurs and that they lived in the Garden of Eden. It’s another thing to suggest they lived long enough to harass the Minoans, and do it with a straight face.
