Nietzschian monkeys hangin' in a bar, picking up chicks. This is why ARPANET developed opposable thumbs and the ability to stand upright: specifically so that one day it would be mighty enough to post this link. Bonus Squiddy goodness.

What Would Flying Spagetti Monster Do?
A blessing for evolution
Tuesday 21 March 2006, 16:41 Makka Time, 13:41 GMTWilliams's stance echoes that of the Roman Catholic church
The spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans does not believe that creationism, the biblical account of the world's origins, should be taught in schools. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said: "I don't think it should, actually. No, no."
Apparently, the world may have been called into being by the Flying Spaghetti Monster – whose devotees would also like their beliefs taught as scientific theory in American schools.
"I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world: one-third time for intelligent design, one-third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one-third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence."
Headline of the Day: Are 200 million years of celibacy over?
It feels like that sometimes, doesn't it?
Sploid has reported on a crustacean species which has kept its legs together for the past 200,000,000 years, and when you see its face, you'll know why. Well, it musta won the lottery or sumpin', cuz all of a sudden the males have started crawling out of the driftwoodwork.
For the last several ages of the planet, these freshwater crustaceans (hence the Squid tag; I do not use the Squid tag lightly, and if you'd ever tagged a Squid you'd feel the same) have reproduced asexually. Hey, they've got to be the official mascot of radical feminism.
Should I capitalize that? bell hooks sez no.
Three males of the species have been discovered, no doubt hanging around the bar at the Roxy, doing Jager shots and buying RedBull and vodka for any female who looks like she's game. Now if we could only figure out a use for them.
A face only a golddigger could love.
