It’s official. John Karr is guilty of the JonBenet Ramsey killing in 1996.
I know this because the media is now addressing him as John Mark Karr.
History shows that killers have three names: John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Arthur Herman Bremer, Carlos the Jackal, Mark David Chapman, James Earl Ray, etc.
I know, now, that the parents didn’t do it, it was John Mark Karr.
Title says it all.

I’m usually a proponent of “green” outdoor chemicals, but not with bees/wasps/yellowjackets. I Raided their ass about an hour ago.

I was going to review this movie, but Phil Plait (who will be at Dragon*Con this year! I’ll see you there, Phil!) did a great job and hit all of the high spots.
Except a few…

I was popped over to this site today from Pharyngula and I caught myself reading some of it. I don’t think this is the sort of faith that I could be a part of. Six-day creationists are just not with the program. However, that’s not why I’m posting.
If you look underneath their Doctrine>>Statement of Faith tab (emphasis mine):
The Bible
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings. The Bible is the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of man and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life. The Scriptures are a unified whole. The Old and New Testaments must each be understood in light of the other.
I’ve heard of this before. It’s called biblical inerrancy and one aspect says what that quote says; the bible is literally the word of God, set down without error in the original manuscripts.
Which makes me ask: “Are you teaching your parishoners greek, hebrew, and aramaic?” I would think it dramatically important, if one believes in the inerrancy of the bible, to be able to read it in the original, untranslated version.
As you can probably tell, I do not believe that any version of the bible was directly inspired by divine will. We humans have way too many faults and foibles to receive that sort of radio message without inserting some static.
I’ve been cleaning up my to-be-blogged-about list today, as you can tell if you read my blog. What with Rush Limbaugh being detained and the Israeli Defence Force moving into Gaza and all the other crap going on in the world (like this) it is sometimes difficult to talk about something cheerful and fun.
Like the story of Mr. Gorsky, which is not true, but still an amusing story. Plus, I like the crater.
