Islamic "Science"

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 6:10pm 0 Comments

 Pharyngula details the advanced science of Islam. Just simply astounding ...

So saith the Prophet, and so affirmeth these Islamic so-called scientists.

Two alligators discuss a diet of Christians

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 11:10am 0 Comments

Two Alligators were sitting around talking, and the smaller Alligator turned to the bigger one & said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age; we were the same size as kids. I just don't get it.'



 'Well,' said the big Gator, 'what have you been eating?'



 'Christians, same as you,' replied the small Gator.



 'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'

Hi Barry,

Your recent blog submission titled "some more dates for the calendar" was not approved as it conflicts with our guidelines on blogs (which can be found buried away here).

In this case, it's simply a question of length and the way we separate content channels on TA.  For one line entries or pointing to interesting links, we prefer that members use the activity feed which can be accessed from the front page.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding this, please feel free to let me or any of the other moderators know.

Regards,
Kris
