Dating and Religion

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

A recent Match.com poll asked whether religion is a dating dealbreaker. For the most part, people don’t seem to think differing views on this topic mattered much; over 73% in fact. But what the numbers don’t show is whether faith was considered an important factor in that person’s life. For those that religion was only [...]

Darwinism Under the Microscope

Tuesday, May 25th, 2004

Many people hold evolution as fact. Why? Because most textbooks portray it as such. But there is gaining momentum to teach it for what it is… a theory. Not too long ago, schools in Georgia were allowed to teach the theory of Creationism along side of Darwinism. This supports a basic tenet of science—posit and [...]

Childless Couple Told to Try ‘Sex’

Tuesday, May 25th, 2004

If it weren’t so sad it would be hilarious, but there’s a reason why I’m posting a link to this story. There is an incorrect perception by some that people of faith are anti-sex. It’s actually the opposite. People of faith are pro-sex… inside of marriage. There are plenty of stats that show that married [...]

The Fool’s Map

Friday, May 21st, 2004

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not pretending to be a master geographer… but I do know that Timbuktu is in Africa. (It is, right?) Most Americans have trouble locating Spain on a map, much less places like Myanmar (thanks Peterman), Camaroon and Guyana. So what would it look like, if you combined all these [...]

K.I.S.S.®

Thursday, May 20th, 2004

No, this isn’t about the musically deficient, over-the-top 80’s rock band, K.I.S.S. stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid. I’ve been saying this for years, but now that M.I.T. is preaching the power of simplicity, maybe it’ll catch on.

Step 1: Kill the I.R.S and adopt a flat tax.
Step 2: Force the health care companies to do [...]

Tattoo You

Monday, May 17th, 2004

Ever wanted to get tatted up but didn’t want the long-term commitment? Well, Paladin brings you some good news. Power Paper has created the first ever, semi-permanent tattoo. Now you can test-drive that scary grim reaper tat before you buy. Plus they’ve cut down the health risks. Sounds like a win-win to me. So what [...]

Judge Offers Vasectomy Option

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

There are just some things that make too much sense. A judge in Newport, Kentucky has given a deadbeat Dad the choice between jail time and a vasectomy. And it since offering this option, only 1 man has opted for jail time. Take this concept one step further and wouldn’t sterilization make sense for rapists? [...]

Groundbreaking for New WTC Announced

Wednesday, May 5th, 2004

The newly dubbed Freedom Tower will break ground, appropriately enough, on July 4th. Here’s what Gov. Pataki had to say:
On July 4, as fireworks burst in the sky, ephemeral reminders of our liberty, we will begin to reclaim our skyline with a permanent symbol of our freedom.”
Read on for my thorough, albeit unprofessional, analysis [...]
