Fish for Friday

When a male bird can't stand it anymore!

Bad burns are VERY VERY tough to survive and live with the aftermath. I took a patient from the UNC ER to the burn unit once and that is the worst place I have ever been in my life. Guess that is why "hell" was imagined as full of fire? I cannot imagine much worse a thing that could happen to anyone.

Wow!! I was holding my breath with my mouth wide open throughout this incredible performance. This woman has nerves of steel.

Whimsy was cool ["Ann-Ann Andover"], but the real story sounds MUCH more interesting! Edinburgh, money running low, selling to The Reader's Digest...Is there a James Carneyesque feature lurking there?

Relevant dogma: "Viewpoint: When did people stop thinking God lives on a cloud?"?
    Wasn't Honest to God in its heyday when you were in Edinburgh? Wasn't John Robinson [the book's author and the Archbishop of Canterbury] a hero?

Motomynd is on the road, no internet, and will be back in touch with belated comments on Thursday.

My wife and I may have just found the blueprint to the perfect plan for being able to afford to move to Cali quicker than we imagined: "‘F**king Religious Idiots’: The CraigsList Ad (and Promotion) That Just Has to Be Seen to Be Believed." [Excerpt:]

A curious CraigsList post advertising a yard sale in Greer, South Carolina, is gaining some attention. Entitled "Help Get Godless Liberals Out of SC," the text, posted on May 9, proclaims that two individuals are attempting to move to California—and they're using the sale as an opportunity to gain the necessary funds...
    "Preaching and proselytizing welcome, however it will cost you 10 cents a word to attempt to convert us," the announcement reads. "Mormons pay double. Mention Richard Dawkins and disavow the Holy Spirit will get you 10% off our already low prices."

Ad banners for Viagra surely must be on the way....

This might be useful some Thursday (from The Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science):

I want to make some joke about erections and cathedrals (mine is bigger than yours), but can't make it work. The farthest I got was an argument between the Crystal Cathedral (Orange County Protestant) and Notre Dame de Paris, but couldn't work out exactly what the argument was about.

Limerick of the Week:

Both our lords have rods to comfort us on our courses;
Whether we walk through valleys of death or bourses,
    My lord's is with me
    As thine's is with thee,
But my lord's is bigger than that one of yours's.
