Euro 2008 – Final

So Spain won.
I missed it as I was out running around a green field for 3 hours this afternoon myself.
Not who I wished to win it, as I really hate the diving and theatrics that the Spanish players (Oh and Italians and Portuguese) seem to think is part of football. But as a wise man [...]

Climate is on the change

Beaver highlights some serious anomalies across Europe.
Me I spent 3 hours zipping around a green field today. I lost a few pounds in the process and took to hiding in my basement and drinking copious amounts of eau. I haven’t pee’ed yet and that was a while ago. This feeling was usually only experienced in [...]

ID/Creationism vs Science – again

In the book AD 381 the author dissected the discussions in early Christendom to do with the trinity. Namely that there were lots and some even relied upon that dubious form of evidence, Scripture. The other guys, the winning side, didn’t have any evidence to back up their position on the Nicene Creed they had [...]

Climate Change – Evidence that something is going on

Apparently plants are a pretty reliable indicator of changing environments.
“Nature abhors a vacuum” is the line I remember most from biology at school and nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of botany. As a landscaper I have noticed that areas of land devoid of any green will soon sprout some green if [...]

Expelled – As it is written, so shall it be

Trawling through the posts today, I linked to the Globe and Mail and found this great review of Ben Stein’s latest foray into the silver screen.
It is cleverly written and made me smile. Enjoy

Euro 2008 – Spain

Wow was I ever wrong.
The Spanish rolled over a disappointing Russian team today.
I’m still trying to work out if the Russians were disappointing because of the Spanish, or if the occassion was just a bit too much for them. As the Spanish became more effective in the second half I’ve got to go with; it [...]

Coldplay

Before I looked at the replay of the Germany v Turkey match today, I watched the daily show.
Coldplay were the guests and wow were they crap. What a waste of 5-6 minutes. Needless to say I’ll not be listening, let alone buying their latest cd.
oh by the way, Michael Jackson wants his jacket back.

Euro 2008 – Turkey

So they bow out.
They do so not in disgrace but after a seriously valiant effort.
Well done Turkey. For those of us not born into the priviledged classes you are role models; teamwork and a refusal to give up will lead to shaking the crap out of the the orthodoxy.
I for one will miss you.
Go home, [...]

Ahh – O’Reilly’s idiocy becomes clearer now

Caught the tail end of an O’Reilly segment on MSNBC decrying the fact that two guys were kissing on a mayo advert.I wondered what the problem was but didn’t give it much thought.
Now after having visited Canadian Cynic all was revealed.
It appears that the transfer of a burly New York deli guy for mum has [...]

Euro 2008 – The next round

I was just following the spike in traffic I received from Vox’s Site v.v. the language thing and I stumbled upon his post on the quarter finals.
I believe this could be a case of new non-overlapping magisteria because I have enjoyed his comments on the tournament to date. I think in his post he has [...]
