Jesus loves Dinosaurs

I once dated a boy who thought that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. His proof: the Flintstones. He also thought that babies were born in nine weeks. Not the sharpest knife...
Now he has a MUSEUM to back him up!
The Creation Museum opens its doors Monday just outside of Cincinnati in northern KY for those who want to have a good time, learn about Adam and Eve, and about their pet stegosaurus this Memorial Day.
Now, I love the Flintstones as much as the next gal, but I think the average American would agree this is ABSURD!! We are teaching children to ignore FACTS in favor for religious stories.
Maybe my bubble (read: Boulder) is shielding me from the reality that is conservative Christian right-wing Republican America.

From their website, just for kicks:

Museum mission statement
Exalt Jesus Christ as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer through a safe, wholesome, family-friendly center for learning and discovery that clearly presents major biblical themes from Genesis to Revelation.
This center will equip Christians to better evangelize the lost with a sense of urgency, through a combination of exhibits, research and educational presentations that uphold the inerrancy of the Bible.
This center will also challenge visitors to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and to accept the authority of the Bible by providing culturally relevant biblical and scientific answers from a biblical worldview.

Main theme
The Bible is true from Genesis to Revelation!

I am a big fan the NY Times. In the Magazine this Sunday there was an article on self-marketing by musicians and the American Public in general. It features a gentleman named Jonathan Coulton, a NY programmer who decided to make his dream come true he had to take life into his own hands. He quit his job and became a self-employed musician. His weekly assignment: a song.
He calls the process "forced creativity". "I learned that it is possible to squeeze a song out of just about anything,” The way the songs connect to the everyday man provide a mostly humorous genre, rife with sarcasm and opinions.
He streams these songs on his blog to get some attention with the option to download for a buck, and now ladies and gentleman, he is a minor pop-culture phenomenon. I recommend "Shop Vac" for a parody of Suburbia and "Code Monkeys" will hit home if you are now or ever had been employed by a technology company.
Elsewhere in the NY Times is Mr. Spock taking pictures of naked fat chicks. Since the NY Times censored the photos I went straight to the source, as I strangely wanted to look at naked fat chicks. Turns out Leonard Nimoy is not half bad at bw photography.
Evidently there are gun feuds in New Hampshire these days, and Bode Miller is part of one of the "clans". Holy Randomness Batman.
