Just pray. [...]

I wanted to drop a few headlines from today’s paper with minimal comments because…well…it just has to be a slow news day. Or month. Headline, the First: “Sharpton Adds Voice to Antiwar Protest”.

For reasons I can not begin to comprehend, several of my friends are math geeks. One of them actually has a degree in Theoretical Mathematics (at least that’s what I remember her calling it). Some of those friends even come here to read The Shack. It’s for them I post things like this list of [...]

Can we all get together and say that this is a bad idea? SCIENTISTS have been warned that their latest experiments may accidently produce monkeys with brains more human than animal. In cutting-edge experiments, scientists have injected human brain cells into monkey fetuses to study the effects. In short, the scientists have no earthly idea [...]
