Today in not-really-news: a community college professor wrote a physic question involving Conoleezza and a watermelon. The Wingnuts are up in arms. You know – the leftist agenda to undermine everything that is good about America. Here is the question:
Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300 -foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the watermelon above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300
a. How many seconds will it pass her (she’s standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?
b. When will the watermelon hit ground?

Because of his myspace.com page…
Baptist college expels gay student – Yahoo! News
The University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky., has kicked out a sophomore because he revealed he was gay on his MySpace.com page, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
The university has a policy that says, “Any student who engages in or promotes sexual behavior not consistent with Christian principles (including sex outside marriage and homosexuality) may be suspended or asked to withdraw from the University of the Cumberlands.”

It had to happen… from the always informative WorldNetDaily:
A media company that produced a best-selling documentary asserting that Jesus Christ never existed today launches its “War on Easter,” encouraging volunteer atheists to plant copies of the film “The God Who Wasn’t There” in churches across the United States.
Dubbing the effort “Operation Easter Sanity,” Brian Flemming, a self-described “former Christian fundamentalist” and president of Beyond Belief Media, hopes to covertly place 666 copies of the documentary in churches by Easter Sunday, April 16. The number 666 is the biblical mark of “The
Beast,” which also is the name of another film by Flemming set for a 06-06-06 release.
By the way, what other Christian holiday has more clearly pagan roots than Easter? Even the name is pagan.

Sometimes it is just too hard not to make fun of them… read and be amazed how God let this squirrel die without pain.

My children spoke and God heard them This morning I saw our cat walking with a squirrel in her mouth. Not wanting to see her kill anything (or eat it or bring it into the house) I immediately cornered the cat and got her away from the squirrel.After putting the cat in the garage, the children (age 6 and 11) and I watched the injured squirrel laying on the pavement outside our window. We don’t know if the squirrel’s neck was broken, but it appeared to be injured and not breathing very well. It was then that we held hands and prayed this prayer to God:
A few moments later the squirrel stopped gasping for breath. We watched her for a while to make sure that she wasn’t in pain. We thanked the Lord for answering our prayers and for bringing this little squirrel home to him. I am sure that this little incident taught the children how to pray to God immediately when a disaster happens, instead of waiting hours or days to ask HIM for direction. I thank the Lord for this opportunity for HIM to reveal Himself to us this morning. I thank the Lord for HIS grace and mercy. __________________ |

That is an awesome sign in the Heavens LORD!
Awesome God!
The Jerusalem Post reports that sex before marriage is kosher:
According to an article by Professor Tzvi Zohar of Bar Ilan University, which has aroused fervent debate in religious Zionist circles, the answer is yes, but only if the relationship is based on mutual respect and the woman immerses herself in a mikve [ritual bath].
And here is a nice reaction from those who will wait all their life for the Rapture:
They were wrong about Jesus so why not be wrong about morality too?

Brilliant logic at work here. This is from a discussion about the Italian Cardinal Renato Martino saying that it is only fair for Italian muslims to have their religion tought in schools side-by-side with other religions.
Renato Martino: “If there is a need. If in a school there are 100 children of the Islamic religion, I don’t see why they can’t be taught their religion,” he told a conference in Rome.
My favorite reaction from those ready for the rapture:
Vatican agrees, Teach the Quran in Public Schools! – Rapture Ready Message Board
Southern Lady: Young impressionable minds should not be taught a false religion. What if your child came home from school and told you I have become a Muslim?
Right – so what was the evidence for one religion being more right than the other again? Maybe our children should be taught to make up their own minds about these things.
A U.S. federal blanket waiver has been approved allowing non-U.S. citizens living with HIV/AIDS to travel to the United States to participate in or attend the Gay Games 2006. The Federation of Gay Games (FGG), and Chicago Games, Inc. (CGI), announced today that the waiver comes with federal approval of Designated Event Status for Gay Games VII Sports & Cultural Festival set for 15-22 July 2006 in Chicago, Illinois.
Here is the reaction from out tolerant Christian friends:
Chahta
Citizen
What kinda games do they compete in? Nude Twister?
Would they be issuing visas for an African team for the bobsled that all had Ebola?
Oo wait, let me guess…. only if they were all gay.
hmmm that has a nice ring to it… Ebola bobsled. They could make a movie…..
And here is one who likes to continue on the gay-people-fornicate-like-crazy-and-can’t-control-themselves meme:
surferbill777
Resident RockerThe Gay Games are just another lame excuse to round up everyone for mass debauchery and to celebrate the “pride” of being gay. I highly doubt they care about athletics in the LEAST.So lets invite a bunch of infected people who will no doubt be hooking up with other people and will inevitably spread HIV further. Brilliant. If you live in Chicago, nows a good time to take a vacation.
Open mouth, insert finger.

From AFP through Yahoo News:
Human quadrupeds discovered in Turkey
Tue Mar 7, 7:56 AM ETLONDON (AFP) –
The discovery of a Turkish family that walks on all fours could aid research into the evolution of humans.ADVERTISEMENTResearchers believe the five brothers and sisters, who can walk naturally only on all fours, may provide new information on how humans evolved from four-legged hominids to walk upright.Nicholas Humphrey, evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, told The Times the discovery opened "an extraordinary window on our past".

And here is the right wing Christian reaction thanks to Rachel A. on Rapture Ready:
Why does it have to be an "evolutionary link"???
How about they are just weird people.
Sometimes people really over-analyze these things.
I used to know a kid that ate worms and dirt too. Maybe he was an "evolutionary link" too! You know, back to a time when our animal-like ancestors ate bugs and such??? Last I heard he was living in Columbus. Maybe we should contact the scientists and let them know about him too!!!

There is a funny little article by Janice Shaw Crouse on the a conservative outlet humaneventsonline.com. There is so much weird logic on it, you just have to read it yourself.
So those couples that want to “Test the Water” are more likely to get a divorce. I would say: well, if they wanted to test the water, there was always a good chance that things wouldn’t work out. Otherwise, they would have skipped the testing phase…
HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE – Conservative News, Views & Books –
Myth No. 1:Living Together Is a Good Way to “Test the Water?
Many couples say that they want to live together to see if they are compatible, not realizing that cohabitation is more a preparation for divorce than a way to strengthen the likelihood of a successful marriage — the divorce rates of women who cohabit are nearly 80% higher than those who do not. In fact, studies indicate that cohabiting couples have lower marital quality and increased risk of divorce. Further, cohabiting relationships tend to be fragile and relatively short in duration; less than half of cohabiting relationships last five or more years. Typically, they last about 18 months.
