The Guardian Science podcast had a story about the Ig Nobel prizes (yes, it was a few weeks ago. I'm always behind.) The biology winners were a team that studied fellatio in fruit bats. Which is kind of brilliant. The Guardian science writer said the story made for a "marmalade dropping moment" when reading. That has to set a new bar for Britishisms.
I also read on the FreeThinker blog this great quote from Mencken: “theologian is defined by H. L. Mencken as a blind man in a dark room searching for a black cat that is not there–and finding it."
In which I engage in shallow discussions about books, movies, science, history and whatever else I'm thinking at that moment. And have beers with Captain Howdy.
