YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

The local newspaper carried a front page article today about an explosion in Cleburne, a small town south of Fort Worth. A guy called the Cleburne fire inspector, saying "every time my wife lights a cigarette a blue flame shoots up to the ceiling".

EVERY TIME? How many times do you have to light a cigarette and see a blue flame shooting up to the ceiling before you figure out it is a bad idea? Well, for this guy, one more time.

The fire inspector told the guy he was on his way and not to light any more cigarettes, but he lit a match for his wife (a true gentleman, if not a true thinker) and boom, the house exploded and blew a hole in the roof.

So, it's true, smoking can be hazardous to your health.

A NEW YOU

David Heddle at He Lives has a good post on eugenics. Richard Dawkins, mentioned frequently here as the Fundamentalist Evolutionist and Anti-Christian, advocates for it. He thinks it has been long enough since Hitler for us to give it a go.

Of course, if you believe we humans are just another bunch of animals, as does Dawkins, why not breed them for what you want? Of course, he expressed it nobly, as in, we would breed for mathmatical ability. But you know that would not be the limit. We would breed for football players, sexiness and who knows what else. I don't want to know what else.
