The nation's largest museum devoted to the alternative reality that is biblical creation science is rising just outside Cincinnati. Set amid a park and three-acre artificial lake, the 50,000-square-foot museum features animatronic dinosaurs, state-of-the-art models and graphics, and a half-dozen staff scientists. It holds that the world and the universe are but 6,000 years old and that baby dinosaurs rode in Noah's ark.
Okay, people? When I said it was possible to mix creation and evolution I MEANT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. I DID NOT MEAN "AND LO, FOR YE SHALL GOETH OUT INTO THE WORLD AND MAKETH A MUSEUM FULL OF ANIMATRONIC VELOCIRAPTORS FROLICKING WITH CAVEMEN, AND TELL THY CHILDREN THAT T-REX DID LIKETH A NICE SALAD."
(I definitely went to school with one of these guys, too. Claimed that dinosaurs were no more than six thousand years old and archeology was a lie. And then one of my best friends verbally kicked his ass with Mad Science. He was cool like that.)
In other news, the best way to eat Skittles is to grab a handful of different-coloured ones and nosh 'em all at once.
Also, people are planning Something Surprising. And they won't tell me what it is.
They will, however, sing a song about it. It goes like this:
I know something you don't know, doo dah, doo dah,
I know something you don't know, oh de doo dah day
Oh de doo dah day
Oh de doo dah day
I know something you don't know, oh de doo dah da-aaay!
This song is irritating and infuriating on a level unmatched by any other. Even Air Supply's entire Greatest Hits CD.
ETA: ( I always get Donnie. Always. )
