Paleontologists brought to tears, laughter by... →
For a group of paleontologists, a tour of the Creation Museum seemed like a great tongue-in-cheek way to cap off a serious conference.
But while there were a few laughs and some clowning for the camera, most left more offended than amused by the frightening way in which evolution — and their life’s work — was attacked.

Detailed account of Madoff's sentencing:
Judge Denny Chin has sentenced Bernard L. Madoff to 150 years in prison. Chin gave Madoff the maximum of 20 years on several of the counts, which will be served consecutively. For a brief moment, the courtroom erupted with applause.
Chin deferred the issue of restitution for 90 days.
“I simply do not get the sentence that Mr. Madoff has done all that he could or told all that he knows,” Chin...

My friend just suggested that rather than switching out the graham crackers for Oreos, I should switch out the Hershey bar for Reese’s Cups.
Don’t mind if I do.

A follow-up on the guys from this video.
Four footballers who wore green armbands in solidarity with Iranian protesters have been forced to retire from the national team.
Their gesture in a recent World Cup match in Seoul attracted worldwide attention last week.
But the authorities have now taken revenge revenge by imposing life bans on Ali Karimi, 31, Mehdi Mahdavikia, 32, Hosein...

Listen, I know the iPhone takes good pictures...
but do you ever get tired of seeing the world through a 3.5 inch display? Do you ever realize what you’re missing out on when you’re too busy staring at a screen?
The most fun we’ve ever had together was when you were finally forced willing to disconnect.
I know… I love mine too, but for god’s sake, put your iPhone down.

I want to know what you think.
An administrative assistant for Tennessee Republican Senator Diane Black sent out a racist joke, in an email forward, of course, regarding the President. She sent it at work to other GOP staff members. (If you care to see it, click through, but I don’t find a need to have it on my blog.)

with most of those attacking more than one victim, data from a new survey suggests. The study, by the country’s Medical Research Council, also found three out of four who admitted rape attacked for the first time while in their teens. It said practices such as gang rape were common because they were considered a form of male bonding.
The rest of this article is just as shocking and...

This little "project" my boss gave me sucks.
I'm currently calling all our contract employees to update contact information, etc. After being hung up on three times and cussed at once, I got in touch with this guy...
Me: Hi, this is Katie with [redacted], may I speak with Brian?
Brian: Katie or Kate?
Me: Katie
Brian: The girl who types up my paperwork?
Me: Yes
Brian: With the brown hair in a pony tail and the little push cart?
Me: Yes
Brian: Oh hey, Katie, how've you been? What's been going on?
Me: I'm calling about the [redacted] program, just to see if your license is current and if you're still interested in participating.
Brian: No, not really, not anymore, but you know what I AM interested in?
