Yes, this is silly. Yes, everyone is doing it, but…yes, it’s still fun. Get your’s here.

At least Lego Pastor has the right Bible with him.

The Kindle 3 is on its way and it is sure to revolutionize reading, like never before. Here is a preview video.

If we can’t laugh at ourselves, we are in a bad way. I enjoyed this spoof on the whole notion of Christian fads and the, often, extremely bad theology on which these things are founded.

As per the usual, the mass media picked up and ran with a story recently declaring that “the missing link has been found!” thus “proving” Darwin’s theories that man descended from the apes. And, as per the usual, the mass media is wrong. Answers in Genesis has a nice page of quotations from prominent scientists worldwide poo-pooing the media hype. For example, and this is typical of the reaction of reputable scientists:

“On the whole I think the evidence is less than convincing,” said Chris Gilbert, a paleoanthropologist at Yale University. “They make an intriguing argument but I would definitely say that the consensus is not in favor of the hypothesis they’re proposing.” . . .

“The PR campaign on this fossil is I think more of a story than the fossil itself,” said anthropologist Matt Cartmill of Duke University in North Carolina. “It’s a very beautiful fossil, but I didn’t see anything in this paper that told me anything decisive that was new.”

Most experts agree that the find is significant, if only for its impressive degree of completeness, but some were put off by the bells and whistles that went along with the publicity campaign around Ida. . . .

“It’s not a missing link, it’s not even a terribly close relative to monkeys, apes and humans, which is the point they’re trying to make,” [Carnegie Museum of Natural History curator of vertebrate paleontology Chris] Beard said.

And then I stumbled across this bit of fun today. HT: Sacred Sandwich

OK, one more sample from this bunch.

If this is your kind of humor, as it is mine, you will be laughing yourself sick as you review others like it at the site of Dubious Photojournalism. Here are a couple of samples.

Fresh from the success with his Log Extractor 3000, Christian
inventor Floyd Puckett demonstrates his new method for removing a speck
from a brother’s eye.

There are moments when the Internet particularly reveals itself as a source of great and beautiful things. This may not be one of those moments, or it may well be, depending on your point of view that is. I believe it is.

Amazing what a little missing comma can do.

NAIROBI, Kenya/GENEVA, 29 November 2007 (LWI) – In her evening
prayer, Rev. Dr Gloria Rojas Vargas, president of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Chile (IELCH) led others in floating in a
clear bowl of water flowers representing the world’s continents.

I’m reading Eats Shoots and Leaves, a hilarious and powerful appeal to give attention to proper punctuation. Case in point? See the banner below. Note what a difference a missing apostrophe makes?

How many Christians does it take to change a light  bulb? 

[No, Mormons are not Christians, ok? It's a joke people. For those who don't get that point, please...read no further, run, don't walk, to get a life. Thanks!]

Charismatic: Only 1
Hands are already in the  air.   

Mormons:  5
One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do  it.

Unitarians:
We choose not to make a statement  either in favour of or against
the need for a light bulb. However, if in  your own journey you have
found that light bulbs work for you, you are  invited to write a poem
or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for  the next Sunday
service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb  traditions,
including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and  tinted, all
of which are equally valid paths to  luminescence.   

Missouri Synod Lutherans: 11
One to change it, and ten consultants to tell us how

ELCA Lutherans: 101
Ten ten-member task forces to meet and issue reports and studies on the subject of changing light bulbs until everyone agrees its ok, one person to change it.
