Marcus and Sarah’s take on the “literal truth” of Noah’s Ark, as seen on Deviant Art:

This is another scene from our home-built “Creation Museum” inspired by the retards at Answers in Genesis. One of the frequent questions people ask is “what happened to the dinosaurs?” Well, if you didn’t grow up under a rock, you know they went extinct due to climate changes resulting from an asteroid impact millions of years ago (although descendants of dinosaurs still live on in the form of - chicken) But if you’re a redneck creationist country bumpkin you might believe that whole Noah’s Ark story and how the dinosaurs didn’t make it (but the serpents and pigs did!)

Here’s our artistic rendering of the actual event. Once Mrs Noah got the ark sea-worthy again and got rid of the dinosaurs, everything was OK for the surviving 2 (plus or minus) of all the species.

And here’s their Garden of Eden! Like Bill Maher says, “These people are treating The Flintstones as if it was a documentary”

I was quite amused by this post from Choire Sicha over at The Awl this morning. In some respects, this is a good example of how Obama’s policies are helping the economy! Only $56.76 for their Extreme (Extremist?) Fax Package! Wow! What a bargain! I will say that I wholeheartedly endorse the (covert) aims of this organization, that is, to extract money from the pockets and bank accounts of the dumbest, meanest, most ill-formed people in America (i.e. the ones who are against health care for all citizens because they’re cheap, evil, Republican and already have health insurance for themselves). Way to go FaxDC Army, bleed ‘em DRY:

Among the opponents of The Health Care Bill are people who don’t like it, and people (companies) who will lose money because of it?

I’m not exactly sure what this site is about, but it’s kind of cool. Some not-bad art in there too!

A case of mild autism has made him extremely sensitive to noise. Vincelette, who lives in a spaceship-style house, thinks music, especially top 40, rap and rock ‘n’ roll, ‘sounds the same way feces smells.’

Vincelette used his genius-level IQ and parts of household microwave ovens to develop a makeshift device that uses electromagnetic waves to temporarily jam the circuitry of his neighbors’ stereos.

Barney Vincelette purchased his unusual house from a catalog and erected it on his Houston lot. While he revels in its ‘geometric simplicity,’ his wife, Carol, says it doesn’t have enough space.”

This gets pretty interesting at around 1:16.

You have to hand it to the Japanese, they know violence sells and they market it like no other country can.

But this has to be the dumbest sport in history, two fat guys pounding each other with neon-rods until they?

Ron Ormond is the Ed Wood of bad religious film-making and If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? is his magnum opus. It’s like a Jack Chick tract come to life!

Here’s an (edited) review found on the Greylodge G-Pod website:

If Jesus Christ came back to Earth and saw the 1971 Baptist propaganda film If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? he would convert to Buddhism. This astonishing little movie hits a rare trifecta of foaming-mouth lunacy: barking dogma, Cold War paranoia and Dixie-fried exploitation film-making at its unintentionally funniest.

If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? is the unlikely collaboration of two of the least inspiring men of their respective trades: the Rev. Estus W. Pirkle, a Mississippi preacher who had a minor following thanks to mail order sales of audiotaped sermons, and Alan Ormond, a Grade Z filmmaker who gave the world such nonsense as The Monster and the Stripper and The Girl from Tobacco Road. Ormond came to Rev. Pirkle?

Ah religion, that organized system of ignorance… you never fail to bring the funny:

A ruling by U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers states that the nine properties that make up Dinosaur Adventure Land as well as two bank accounts associated with the park will be used to satisfy $430,400 owed to the federal government.

Kent Hovind, who founded the park and a ministry, Creation Science Evangelism, is serving 10 years in federal prison for failing to pay the Internal Revenue Service more than $470,000 in employee taxes.

He was found guilty in November 2006 on 58 counts, including failure to pay employee taxes and making threats against investigators.

The conviction culminated 17 years of Hovind sparring with the IRS. Saying he was employed by God and his ministers were not subject to payroll taxes, he claimed no income or property.

Judge clears way for dinosaur park to be seized

This just in from CNN:

The president she once pointed a gun at has been dead for nearly three years, and her longtime idol and leader, Charles Manson, remains in prison.
