I put a pet door on the side of the coffee table yesterday.

Quote On Ignorance

Kevin — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:17:52 +0000

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

-Isaac Asimov

I’m sorry, boys. Did I interrupt something?

Disingenuous Cryptozoologist

The other day I was watching a show about Bigfoot. I tend to yell at the television when programs are presenting blatant lies which distract people away from reason and critical thinking (Nostradamus, Nessie, Jesus, etc.) but I wanted to see what kind of humorous “facts” were going to be offered up. This jerkoff who was a bigfoot “expert” had a “museum” (which no doubt had a lucrative giftshop) in the Pacific Northwest somewhere.

The main remark that stood out to me was when he said:

“I’ve never seen the Eiffel Tower but I believe it exists.”

This statement is exactly the kind of flawed logic that is wrong with people. I don’t think 50 million people have walked up and down bigfoot and taken 30 trillion (non-blurry) pictures of it.

“I think Bigfoot is blurry, that’s the problem. It’s not the photographer’s fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that’s extra scary to me. There’s a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he’s fuzzy, get out of here.” – Mitch

I’d like to dedicate this post to two of my heroes: Michael Shermer and Richard Dawkins.

Mental Floss Geography Quiz

Kevin — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:07:41 +0000

I just sent probably two hours taking this quiz probably dozens of times. I got score ranging from 30 to 80. There were a few 90s in there. I was surprised at all of the wrong answers I gave and I insisted on playing until I got a 100.

Review these results to decide how easy or difficult my win was.

This was done with my phone and not the Flip so it’s not very good. Can you find Brice and Angie?
