Careful - don't most Wiccans* have 'hawk' somewhere in their name?

wow - Just 'WOW'

1) how can claim that intelligent design is different than creationism? The main book on ID was just creationism changed using global search and replace.

People could not understand that 'global warming' was an average over the entire Earth over time.

At least the rat didn't catch the knife and throw it back.

Or 2 'crack-spackle*tm' tees from Duluth (on sale).

I was on my waterbed when Seattle had it's last earthquake; that was really bizarre and fun once I realized what was going on. I had a local discussion radio station on and they realized what was going on about the same time I did.
