Hey Pinko??

Lesson of the day:

Don't post in haste or post, post-haste... the below article is a couple of years old (thank you herr doktor bimler). Although, I have the feeling the very same thing would be even more likely to happen today.

I'm going back to filthbot and nature blogging... it's safer. :)

My sister, one of your fellow Texans, sent me this... and right on the heels of Perry's "Pray for Rainageddon!"

Bill Nye, the harmless children's edu-tainer known as "The Science Guy," managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun.

As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own.

But don't tell that to the good people of Waco, who were "visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence," according to the Waco Tribune.

I was wondering if your recent dealings (office breakdown) might have been due to this upsetting news... Did you have to tell someone the Earth wasn't flat?

That was two years ago, though. Surely they've come to their senses now.

LOL!

Oops. Apparently I haven't come to my senses either... and don't know how to read dates. I'm going to have to talk to my sister as well. Texas must be rubbing off on her!

All current evidence seems to indicate that Governor Goodhair and company are loonier than ever.

Office situation was sadly due to emerging or increasing mental health issues.

I do wonder on this campus about people's heads sploding if we talk about non-cheese moons or people not riding dinosaurs.

wait, so there actually exist people who think the herculoids was real?
