Part of adopting a critical-thinking cap is being willing to look at all sides of an issue, and seriously consider the arguments counter to the views you hold. Anyone who’s poked around on this blog long enough knows that I have an interest in evolution, so I feel obligated to feature Bobbie-The-Jean’s post of [...]

Leave a commentImagine looking down at your lap and being greeted by this? Freak you right the hell out, wouldn’t it? But no, we’re haunted by the cutest little wraiths any medium has ever seen. Noisy, though. Since the last report, things have proceeded apace. While the fourth still remains very spooky for some reason, three [...] Scott Meyer of Basic Instructions fame speaks with the insight of the classic philosophers: The Nerf designers may actually be missing the point – part of the skills of childhood is repurposing toys to your own ends. Things that are too specific cripple kids’ creative (and destructive) powers. In my youth, GI Joe was [...] September 14th, 2011 | Tags: Banana Buggy, Basic Instructions, boys will be boys, GI Joe, Hot Wheels, model rockets, Nerf, Scott Meyer, toys will be destroyed | Category: Humor, Random |
Leave a commentYes, you might have noticed that I haven’t been concentrating on new publications, and this is for two reasons. One is that I haven’t been reading very much in the way of new publications, and the second is, I’m recommending books that I think people should read ;-) Douglas Adams is best known for [...] September 13th, 2011 | Tags: book review, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Douglas Adams, ghosts, murder, mystery, science fiction | Category: Book Review, Critical Thinking, Humor |
Leave a commentAh, yes, natural disasters! Bad enough in their own right, but compounded because they herald the news programs desperate for drama, so they can run their stock footage of other disasters and send some idiot to stand out in the rain shouting above the din of their windbreaker six sizes too large (you thought [...] August 29th, 2011 | Tags: brain-damaged asshat, Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann, Mommie Dearest, Pat Robertson's a fucking shitheel, Rick Perry | Category: Critical Thinking, Humor, Random |
Leave a commentI actually get chills when watching the following video – it’s just too cool seeing this all come together: I’ve known this video for a couple of years now, and there’s a decent chance you’re familiar with it; at least with the tour that culminated from it. That, however, was only the lead-in [...] August 28th, 2011 | Tags: nobody chundered, nobody gets eaten either, Walking With Dinosaurs | Category: Humor, Random, Too Cool |
Leave a commentHi, all you spambots out there! You’ve been sending me so many fascinating comments that I’ve been neglecting, so I thought I’d sit down and finally answer some choice selections. I’m sorry that I can’t get to all of you, but I can say that I appreciate your efforts nonethemore. Also, for those of [...] August 22nd, 2011 | Tags: spam spam spam spam spam eggs and spam | Category: Humor, Random |
Leave a commentI don’t watch a lot of TV, but this past week I saw more than normal, and subsequently saw trailers for the new movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, virtually every time. There is no commentary intended or implied in this, merely an observation, but I kept seeing Kevin Bacon. Mind you, [...] Okay, so let’s think about something a second. Several species of wolf and fishing spiders (what my friend referred to long ago as “Big Honking Spiders”) carry around egg sacs with them as they go. This is almost certainly so that the young are protected from birth, because the same species are seen carrying [...] July 6th, 2011 | Tags: And my readership drops to two, Yes I'm weird | Category: Humor, Random |
