(With apologies to Roger for stealing one of his taglines)
This was alluded to in the dGrasse Tyson thread, but WHAT THE FUCKING SHITKNUCKLES CHRIST is this?

I don't even care that it's some actor who pretended to be a space captain. That would be like thinking Jan-Michael Vincent has some sort of special insight when it comes to helicopters. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airwolf)
No, the point is that it's
a show about heliocentrism. Which we
should have done away with IN THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING CENTURY.
The kicker? I'll leave it to the article:
QuoteSungenis [the movie's principal] also happens to be a Holocaust denier who believes in the "New World Order" and who writes articles about how Jewish people have aligned themselves with Satan. In fact, he's such a notorious anti-semite that even his own local bishop, Kevin Rhoades of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, has gone on record distancing himself from the guy and his "Catholic" organization. Seriously, do you know how much of an ass you have to be to get a bishop to notice you?
To sum up:
:crankey:
She just denounced the whole thing, just so ya know.
Also, I feel that perhaps we've been a little hasty with our cosmology.
The Earth centric model, for example, can work if all the planets sort of do a little loop-de-loop once every half orbit.
Also, it occurs to me that the world makes way more sense if it's flat.
The world makes more sense if I just accept the fact that the nice nurse will be along shortly with my next dose, and the nightmares will end any minute, now.

Except for, you know, physics.

Balls. Physics favors the flat earth model just as much as the 'almost spherical' one if you're willing to WIGGLE a bit, and Occam wasn't elected Jesus or anything.
My job would be MUCH easier if the world was flat.

Because if I don't account for the world being round, the site plan I draw for a site in Manhattan ends up in Schenectady.
And that would just be fucking
inconvenient. Not that the Universe is above playing dirty tricks like that, but I'm not gonna go around enabling that kind of behavior.

Crom disapproves of the ACA.
Crom disapproves of doctors, come to think of it.

I licked a sample in Geology lab today.
I'll give your field that; in no other lab have I been allowed, let alone
encouraged to lick a sample. And fuck knows I ask in every single Biology lab.

Nah, Crom was more "I really couldn't give a shit. Live, die, whatever. Not my problem."
It's kind of like praying to me.
Just for the record - the reason the earth looks round from space is because the spaceship windows are round :evil:

You have undergone The Initiation.
But the true test will be whether or not you find yourself surreptitiously licking rocks and minerals, even after you know damn well that halite is the only one where that test actually reveals any information.

So far, it's fun. It's puzzle time! ID shit, and remember how
babby the planet was formed. Today I discovered that the new D2L, as soon as you've completed a quiz, shows you where you rank vs. the rest of the class and so far I'm fucking the curve for everybody else. :lol: We're only 3 weeks in so there's plenty of time for the gap to close. Maybe the lippy asshole who sits behind me, who in my head is named GoogleEarth "Broham" Einstein, will do it. I also nailed IDing every sample in lab.
I know Geology 201 is not a competitive class, but seriously, I'm in my 3rd term of Biology and I haven't been allowed to put ANYTHING in my mouth yet.
We did get to play with liver flukes yesterday, though.
TOO MANY INNUENDOS. CANNOT DECIDE.
