    When I read this in new scientist i was tempted to post it. Its hillarious and it makes a damn good point about some 'mainstream wannabe' religious nonsence as well


    As a sidelines, an economist once posted a paper where he associated world business cycles with the frequency of solar flares. The magic of correlation and hypothesis testing

    This one is a pretty good chuckle.

    Sad thing is when I was a kid I found Kansas elementary school to be well ahead of Missouri (about 6 months to a year.) And Missouri was ahead of California by about 6 months or a year from what I saw.

    Heh, I got it from there too. It made me smile. If you look on the site you can see the replies from the board. Well those that bothered to reply anyway.

    Was going to post this in the frontroom as a joke on the "Christian Club" et al. but decided not too...

    [Sarcasm Max]It depends if they are in a Crusade mode or turn the other cheek mode... in some cases that is a Catholic Priest turning the other cheek of a choir boy but hey lets not judge other cultures...[/Sarcasm Max]

    That's not very nice for a moderator to say

    Pape,

    The baby is wearing you out. You should get more sleep.
    And BTW, not a very good thing to say, especially from a mod.

    Also, strange thread
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Also there is two main types of Christians that I was referring to (there is many, many more of course). Some are extremely tolerant and amazing examples of Christs grace. Others are at the opposite end and I assume feel since they know god and that they have access to some special knowledge that they hence cannot be wrong, go about being jackasses for the rest of the faith.

    And also would you dispute that absolutely no priests have ever been found to be playing hide the sausage with male minors? If you can disprove this then I will apologise for that comment.

    Of course, Papewaio. Thank goodness we have you around to enlighten us. Silly us, we thought child molesters were scattered among all walks of life, and thanks to you, we now know, it's Catholic priests that do it. Everyone else: schoolteachers, psychologists, nurses, doctors... anybody that's a secularist could not possibly be responsible. Just religious leaders, and most especially Catholic priests. Glad we got that straight. We are so lucky to have you around when you offer us these insights, big guy.
