File this under too damn cute.

It’s probably because of the accent, but I found it entertaining.

I spotted this on Daily What and laughed my ass off.

Of course, I found this picture on the same day. I wonder if one of these ladies could be the mom in the letter above? Just a guess.

This video was popular 3 months ago, but I chose not to post it because I didn’t want to give this group more exposure even in jest. However, it does seem to be back to school time for many of you folks, so enjoy.

I am open minded enough to give them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps, they made this video highly exaggerated to get a laugh? Unfortunately, religious fundamentalists can’t be open minded enough to believe a non-Christian individual could actually be a decent human being. Therefore, it is much easier to sink to their intolerable level of thinking and attack this video just as harshly.

Everyone knows college is about churning out future alcoholics for the liquor industry not hippies.

You can also watch a video where they murder a college professor with an ipod, which simultaneously promotes rational thinking. Huh? Yes be rational, don’t actually believe they want you to kill your professor. It’s just ‘comedy.’ Now, forget reason and rational thought and buy our MP3s on defending the bible in your classes.

This is the $300 Million Thank you song, brought to you by singing finger puppets. Simple ideas always beat out complicated ones. Imagine if Michael Bay had made this commercial?

The fall of society has begun, a class on becoming famous. Obviously, I haven’t taken it.

When I first saw the Kindle, I was in love.  Cheap books, lifetime access to them and computer-like functions of searching, highlighting, etc. seemed to me like a great idea.  Whenever I spoke about the Kindle, I got that glazed over look from friends who were just thinking, “he’s just a gadget obsessed freak.”  At one point, while I was trying to plead the case for Kindle, I said it would be great if text books were available on Kindle because then a college student could spend the $360 for a kindle and the $10 per book each semester instead of $400+ each semester for books.

Supporting my theory that I am bugged, it looks as if Amazon is going to pursue the student version of Kindle.

Yeah! Go Michigan. Senator Bill Hardiman, from Grand Rapids (go figure, huh?), is sponsoring one of these ‘academic freedom’ bills. Now, he will be the first to tell you, and anyone who will listen, this is not an anti-evolution bill. This bill is, well in the interview(itunes link) he stumbled over what exactly it is supposed to be. Basically, the bill, as he sees it, is designed to allow students to challenge any theory scientifically. Scientist argue that the theory of Intelligent Design is not valid scientifically, so Creationists have decided to argue that the theory of evolution is not valid either.

This is an argument, and that is all it is; you’re wrong, I am right. Neither side will EVER except the proof the other side. We live in a world where truth is for hire. We no longer search for answers, but we write out an hypothesis and only present the data that proves our theory. You’ve seen it on your courtroom drama television series, the prosecutor hires an expert to testify and the defense gets their own expert to say the opposite.
