Homologous Legs : Update on my Signature in the Cell adventure

On the contrary, they seem to have a very good idea of what they are trying to do. What they have difficulty doing is a) publishing anything that comes even vaguely close to looking like science, and b) hiding their theistic agenda (i.e. Wedge) behind a veneer of same.

For a populist rag like the Mail this may cause them to re-think their usual conservative stance.

While I commend your hopeful enthusiasm, I sincerely doubt it. Happy to be proven wrong, though!

Bloggerheads : Nadine Dorries and the right to know (Happy birthday, information request!)

Letter of complaint sent to Nominet [https://secure.nominet.org.uk/account/whois-complaint.html]: Sir, I belief the above domain [righttoknow.org.uk], the owners of which are currently exercising their power to opt-out from the WHOIS database, which as a political-action entity supported by two Members of Parliament, should be subject to the principles of openness and accountability to the public interest that we, as UK citizens, now require for our political representatives. As this web site's purpose is to call for support of political action, notwithstanding the controversial nature of the topic, I believe that it is essential for the purposes of accountability that this domain can be audited and tracked back to its sponsors. If you decide that opting-out is reasonable for such purposes, I would ask that you clarify the rules as to when the opt-out from the WHOIS database is appropriate concerning such political entities. Yours faithfully, <my name>

At least the guy hasn't changed his name to "Sam Beckett"...

Paliban Daily : British mayor swaps council prayers for poems

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:19:41 +0000

Cllr Jon Kaye said:

The prayer enables councillors to not only reflect on what is said, but to think about how we conduct ourselves during the subsequent three-hour meetings.

So Mr Kaye is unable to conduct himself professionally and with due diligence unless he has previously bowed his head and mouthed a platitude to his god? Glad he's not on my local council, then.

Deep Thoughts : Death and euthanasia

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. Your updates have been both saddening and thought-provoking, and I appreciate you sharing your story. Take care.

Deep Thoughts : You want the story?

Coldplay? You really are a glutton for punishment. ;-)

Attempts at Rational Behavior : Singing Sunday school five year old = patriot?

They spelled "parrot" wrong.

It is.

Sean the Blogonaut : What Skeptics think of Mike Adams thoughts on Skeptics

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:42:14 +0000

The man is completely hatstand.

nullifidian : Hey! Creationists!

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:08:49 +0000

That doesn't make any sense. Who was talking about your gods and what does it have to do with science?

nullifidian : Here's to you, Iris Robinson

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:21:04 +0000

Not at all. Robinson is infamous for her bigoted homophobic evangelical fundie christian views, which she espoused quite vehemently on a BBC radio show in NI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Robinson#Commen... The fact that she's a levitical hypocrite as well as being a lying sack of shit regarding the money issue is just icing on a well-deserved comeuppance cake.

Sean the Blogonaut : Steampunk Saturday – Steampunk Band Abney Park

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:15:23 +0000

I wouldn't have immediately genred (is that a word?) Abney Park as 'steampunk', more sort of new-wave industrial, but since you (and they) point it out I can see it now. Thanks for the vids. I've still never seen them live even though I've been to Stokey countless times. ;-) The less said about Evanescence, the better (especially if the 'g' word (no, the other 'g' word! ;-) is being bandied around!)

nullifidian : Mohammed is no Ripley

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:15:44 +0000

Ah Mabus. When will your stupidity end? The fact that you post the same utterly pointless and retarded comment at every opportunity simply goes to show that you've not had an original thought in your head for quite some time (if ever). Thankfully the Internet documents your years of complete and utter ineptness for all to see. Welcome to my killfile (again).

nullifidian : Like their gods

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:29:21 +0000

I'll have to take your word for that, as I appear unable to recall the precise circumstances of the multifarious christian theodicies. I guess Phelps, then, is perhaps more in line with standard christian theologies than I previously thought. Mea culpa.

Or it might have been dropped by a clumsy bird of prey.

Attempts at Rational Behavior : How about pouring them on some drought regions then?

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:48:15 +0000

Shouldn't that be on Lamebook? ;-)

Ungodly Cynic : Woo Hoo!

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:22:44 +0000

And now I realise that I sounded like a total whinging git, while not at all telling you how much I appreciate your hard work. So I'll do that now. Thank you (for both).

Ungodly Cynic : Woo Hoo!

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:08:21 +0000

Mine too. :-(

nullifidian : I'm back...

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:03:54 +0000

There was some of that too. Probably a bit too much of that, actually... ;-)
