Oh, how thoughtful of the Intelligent Designer!

A-ha! Finally! Now I understand the connection between Creationism and the overall anti-sex sentiment of the Fundamentalists!
New reseaarch shows that E.coli swim upstream due to the Design of their flagellum! And where do they swim from and swim to? Yes, you guessed it right! And you can also watch the movie.

A subversive backwards message in Jingle Bells?

Hear it for yourself!

Grading Exams

I did not have time to go through all the posts on all of today’s carnivals, but Larry Moran discovered a real gem on today’s Carnival of Education. Check the comments as well. Then come up with your own system.

Chuck Norris Creationist

Hmmm, didn’t it occur to him for a moment that “survival of the fittest” may be true back when Bruce Lee beat him up?bruce%20lee%20beats%20up%20chuck%20norris.jpg

Funny telemarketer call

This is hillarious (Via). I wish I was as creative. I just make the telemarketers pronounce my full name correctly. Just calling me “Sir” does not cut it as I was never knighted by the Queen of England.

THE AMBIEN COOKBOOK

This is hillarious. I need to try the cake one.

I thought it was going to be a horse, but I was wrong!

Now we know that Bush is correct when he says that everything he says comes directly from God. The source of Bushisms is Jesus himself!

Hey, at least it is not Intelligent Design!

Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!

Chris Clarke explains Berube’s new book (yup, I am hoping to buy it one day) for the masses.
I am assuming that Chris spent quite a lot of time and effort into making this from scratch. I could have saved him some of that by mailing him some of the existing stuff I had and read as a kid. Ah, the glory of growing up in a socialist country!

The Future of Airline Security

Fly Paris Hilton Airlines:

Thank you all for being here. With the fifth anniversary of 9/11 upon us, the Federal Aviation Administration has been asked to project developments in air safety over the next five years. We thought this could best be conveyed from the perspective of a typical passenger in the year 2011.

Read the whole thing – it is hillarious, yet scary.

Did Bush ‘Fake It’ in Iraq?

As in ‘fake an orgasm’? A perfect metaphor.

The Essence

“Once you have the testes, you really don’t need the rest of the male… I feel really bad about that… it’s been my protocol to euthanize the males and take their testes.”

Aliens Found in Roswell!

And even better – they were discovered to be working illegally.
Steve says: “Extraterrestrials gotta eat, too”
Lex noticed that (if you hover your cursor over the “illegal aliens” in the text), you can find Roswell aliens on eBay!

Well, I am not an engineer…

…so I’d have my priorities straight. But checking my Sitemeter referrers list would come in at #2, LOL.

Do silent ones count?

Yup, in our household the new meaning of ‘Bushism’ has already been adopted. Even kids are using it in the new Dictionary sense. Now I gotta go as I am feeling a tad little bit presidential.

Get Alan Sokal on the M*th**f**king Plane!

After reading this, I really want to see ‘Snakes On the Plane’ as I now feel like I have a chance of comprehending its depth and subtlety.

Science Is Dead

Code-word? Jon(anathan) Swift.

This is probably an ancient joke, but it is new to me…

A kangaroo bounds round the Australian outback. Every now and then she stops and a little penguin climbs out of the kangaroo’s pouch. It looks awfully sick and promptly vomits.
Thousands of miles away in Antarctica, a little kangaroo sits in the snow shivering, crying and mumbling to itself, “Damned #$%^&* student exchange program!”

Spreading the Internet lore

Handz-Off.jpgDid you know the origin of the phrase “Every time you masturbate (or do whataver in the context), God kills a kitten”? I just found out that Wikipedia has a full illustrated history – which is hillarious.

Viagra – The Future, part 2

From L.A.Times (you’ll have to click – I am purposefully citing out of context for humorous purposes):

Military researchers are considering a study to see whether Viagra could help soldiers function better at high altitudes.

High altitudes? How high? Who/what needs to get that high?

None of the cyclists reported an erection during the trials, she said.

Self-reporting, self-schmeporting! What do you think they were thinking about while “cycling”?

“If we send a group of guys into the mountains of Afghanistan, they need to be able to deal with the altitude,” Fulco said.

Eh, as if our boys over there were not rambunctious enough, and sex-deprived by definition. Why do you think they used to but bromine in soldiers’ tea?

Friday Weird Sex Blogging

There is a tradition in the blogosphere of posting something light on Fridays.
Some people do the Friday Random Ten, but I do not have an iPod, and keep my computer on Mute, so I do not listen to music or can generated a random ten.
Most people post pictures of variousanimals, mostly cats, but I do not like doing what everyone else is doing. And once I’ve posted pictures of my cats (and I did, a couple of times, though never on a Friday), what’s the point of doing it again?
Some people got away from cats and pets and post pictures of cooler animals, like ants, or, well, ants. birds. Or birs on Monday. Or nudibranchs. Or cephalopods. Or plants. Or invasive species.
Some are moving away from living stuff altogether, with Friday Fractals or Organic People Chemistry or Sunday mineral blogging.
Update: Arrrrgh! How could I have forgotten
Friday Sprog Blogging and Map The Campus!
What can I do? How about something that is sure to bring in Google searchers?
Sex!
That’s it. Every Friday, I’ll try to find an example of some cool organism involved in a strange reproductive practice. Today is the first such Friday. Enjoy….

Viagra – The Future

Shamelessly stolen from Cyberspace Rendezvous:

In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name.
For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen.
Amoxil is also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin.
Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power Beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of “cocktails”, “highballs” and just a good old-fashioned “stiff drink.” Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: “MOUNT & DO”
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Dixafix? Is that a friend of Asterix? I thought it was a different kind of potion the idomitable Gauls were brewing!
