Friends help you move. Real friends grant your request for them to shoot you.

Pic of hurr dog.

They say curiosity killed the cat and it’s true that too much inquisitiveness can be deadly, or at least very very painful. One young man with more curiosity than common sense decided he wanted to know what it felt like to be shot with a gun.

So he pestered his best friend until the friend . . . → Read More: Friends help you move. Real friends grant your request for them to shoot you.

Nearly one in seven people worldwide think the world will end this year.

2012end

It’s amazing how stubbornly people will cling to a stupid claim long after it’s been debunked. One example is the myth that the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world on December 21st of this year. It doesn’t predict any such thing, but no matter how many times its debunked there is still a . . . → Read More: Nearly one in seven people worldwide think the world will end this year.

No more goal post shifting for Harold Camping.

Harold Camping at 6:01PM Saturday, May 21st, 2011.

You remember Mr. Camping, right? The preacher who predicted the world would end on May 21st of 2011? If you’ve been paying attention then you know he was wrong. Then he doubled down and said that it was a spiritual rapture and that the real one would occur 5 months later in October. That one, . . . → Read More: No more goal post shifting for Harold Camping.

Taking self-loathing to whole new levels.

When you’re on the net as much as I am it’s easy some days to think you’ve seen it all. Then something comes along that you’d never in a million years expect to ever see. Things like Jewish Neo-Nazis:

Gas prices have fallen so folks are back to buying SUVs.

I recently wondered aloud in another thread if the suddenly lower gas prices we’ve been experiencing—I just paid $1.95 a gallon to fill up yesterday—would cause the idiots in our populace to start buying gas guzzlers again. It was a stupid thing to question because it was pretty much a given that it would:

Florida Senate passes misnamed “Academic Freedom Act.”

Seems they have a few IDiots in the Florida Senate that are hoping to have the non-theory of Intelligent Design taught in schools. After recent revisions by the Florida board of education put in place a stronger emphasis on teaching the theory of evolution the politicos sprang into action:

The IDiots behind the “Expelled” movie manage to screw up again.

You may recall a week or so ago an entry here by R.D. Newman about how Professor PZ Myers was expelled from a screening of the Intelligent Design propaganda film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. It was particularly amusing because they apparently didn’t realize one of PZ’s guests, all of whom made it into the movie, . . . → Read More: The IDiots behind the “Expelled” movie manage to screw up again.

“Apparently we didn’t have enough faith.”

This pretty much speaks for itself:

Police: Family prayed instead of getting medical aid for girl who died – The Capital Times

Gnomes Gone Wild!

Apparently they’re very credulous down in Argentina. Recently a bunch of teenagers sitting around on the street after dark in the town of General Guemes managed to catch a “gnome” on video using a camera phone before they freaked out like little babies and ran for their mommas. Really, you can see the video below:
