A classic 'what was I thinking' moment.

Debated for hours whether this belonged here or in Adam's poop thread. Since it came back clean, I settled on here.

Are you smarter than an atheist? A religious quiz Quiz results Your score Average reader score 32 Correct 0 Wrong 100% You answered 32 of 32 questions correctly for a total score of 100%. 32 of 32. Take that you, you...well, whatever you are. ==== By the way the average score was 84% correct which lends credence to the supposition that an overwhelming percentage of on line, poll taking readers of the Christian Science Monitor are over educated atheists.

A satisfying, but meta, answer is, "Poe wrote on both," given by puzzle enthusiast Sam Lloyd. More in the spirit of the nonsense genre, Aldous Huxley ventured, "Because there is a 'b' in both and an 'n' in neither." Beautifully bizarre. More at this link. Lewis Carrole's answer to his own riddle: Carroll's answer to why a raven is like a writing desk? "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!" I'm sure your thighs are now sore from the repeated slapping they took after you read that line. Originally, it was supposed to be a little funnier than that. Carroll spelled 'never,' as 'nevar' — 'raven' spelled backwards — but a proofreader erased the inverted pun before it was published.

Well I know absolutely nothing about who played on the 1953 Cardinals baseball team so, no, that doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm so glad someone had the balls to go there. I really wanted to say that but... it sounds a little too much 'creepy uncle' coming from me.

The intended take away from the quiz is that religious folks are ignorant peckerheads, even about matters within their own area of expertise. Hence AdamSmith's snickering.

I would bet that the survey didn't control for the level of education in it's subjects. I'm not sure that believers are much worse informed than kaffirs given equality of class, intelligence and general education.

Think like RA1.

Escort quality with hooker pricing. Something in this ad speaks to me. OK, which one of you guys owns a liquor store in Chicago?

I've been wondering if I should go see this one. I think TomCal's thumbs up just pushed me over the brink. Time to crank my saggy ass into gear and make the 30 mile drive to the nearest picture show.

Wasn't there some theory a few years back that it took 10,000 hours of practice to reach the pinnacle of any skill?

NASA: "Listen up guys, as long as you're gonna be there a couple of extra weeks, we've come up with this list of experiments we'd like you to get to work on." NASA: "You know, if one of you decided to take a long walk to nowhere, we project an extra 79.4 hours of oxy to get those experiments completed. Just putting it out there." NASA: "Sorry, Buzz, but we're going to cut communications now. Halderman advises that all that wheezing is killing us in Congress."

Journalists have been on the exemption list for a long time. I for one have been requesting BoyToy to issue TampaYankee journalist credentials so he could launch an in depth investigation into the terms of trade on Havana's streets but Oz has proved strangely reticent on the project. Well now dick worshipers can educate themselves on the cultural traits of young Cuban rent boys on their on. Take that,Oz!

Calli, Thanks for posting a tribute thread for lookin. If there's anyone here who deserves one more, I don't know who he is. And thank you, lookin, for all the enjoyment you've given me over the years. Who knew you could have warm fuzzy feelings for somebody you've never met. That's got to be one of the most surprising thinks I've discovered since I got on the internet. Well, of course there were those two cute Russian lads from St. Petersburg but that was kind of a different feeling.

I may lack AdamSmith's expertise on the subject, but I'm tolerably sure that turds float for reasons that have nothing what-so-ever to do with being hollow. Probably it has to do with methane &/or ingested air mixed homogeneously with the solid matter (but that's purely speculation on my part).

Nothing personal but... Bite Me

I think if I were RA I would be better able to follow my own chain of thought. Or so I think. I'm pretty sure you were very near the bottom of that bottle of scotch when you told me that.

I can see right now where Callipygian is going with this and I wish to issue a preemptive denial. I am not now, nor have I ever been, Benjamin Nicholas.

It's not enough he has to wear that knowing friends and family back in Iowa will be pasting it all over his Facebook page, now he's gotta smile too?

Oh my God, I finally got one of RA1's humoresque quips! OMG, OMG, O...M...G....I'm feeling faint.

Hahahahaha...that is so fucking cool, lookin. From pretty boy to gym rat in the blink of an eye. The Bieb has got to be absolutely mortified by this. Do you think maybe the photographer leaked the raw footage to get even with him for leching on her during the shoot? Or was it Calvin himself? You can't buy the kind of media exposure CK Undies is getting. I love you when you come up with stuff like this. The way the bulge surges in and out is outright pornographic.

With my old eyes it's hard to tell but does anyone think that his buttocks may have been tightened up a bit too? Maybe it's just the level of contrast has been pushed up on the advertising copy, his rear end seems firmer and a little more bubble butted, just a tad. "Maybe I should study on it a little longer."

That does look good.
