There’s a lot of debate over the cause or source of homosexuality, mostly involving nature vs. nurture, biology vs. desire, and so on. We can all agree, however, that it’s not caused by demonic possession.
Or so I thought.
It stuns me that these things still happen. Most people of faith can reconcile science and psychology with [...]

An alien showed up in Pakistan, and what do they do? Kill it.

“Look, an alien! Let’s kill it, cook it up, and show it off on a dinner plate so his friends get really pissed!”
Thanks, Pakistan! Guess we best start preparing for the invasion.
At least they’re tiny and likely have tiny ships. Maybe we can [...]

In searching for some video links for that last post, I found this mash-up of The Wiggles and just can’t stop laughing. It probably helps that I had to sit through several Wiggles tunes with the rugrats.
Oh, and before you press the play button, I’ll give you the Not Safe For Work warning:

My brother-in-law showed up with two gorgeous chocolate labs this weekend. They were in good shape, had wonderful dispositions, played nice with the kids, listened to commands, and were housebroken. They jumped around a bit, but at less than a year old, that’s to be expected. They have all their shots, and their AKC paperwork [...]

I don’t know what’s funnier about this story: the fact the vigilantes captured a goat or the police are actually keeping the goat in custody.
Said goat is allegedly a car thief. No, the goat didn’t try to steal the car; the vigilantes claim the actual thief turned himself into a goat to evade capture.
I tell [...]

Have trouble understanding just why the housing market and the banks are in such deep shit? Check out The Crisis of Credit Visualized, which breaks it down into a simple explanation graphics.

Wow. I’m surprised it made it around the block.
