Links For Brains: 8/6/2008

August 6th, 2008 by Oskar Kennedy
  • The New Humanist Blog does a little investigating, and concludes that the Birmingham, Alabama City Council web-flitering flap was probably caused by a software setting, rather than simple anti-atheist discrimination. (Atheists lumped in with Satan, Baba Yaga and the Boogie Man. Except, you know, real.)
  • FactCheck.org explains that the uranium shipped out of Iraq in July is left over from the end of Gulf War I: The Prequel, and had nothing to do with the still-elusive WMDs that the Bush administration invented out of whole cloth in 2003. (FYI, if you’re not reading FactCheck.org, you probably believe something that’s entirely untrue. If you are, you’re aware that being able to lie convincingly is a prerequisite for political office.)
  • Wired provides useful links and a poorly cropped photograph to point out that forensic DNA isn’t as perfect as the hype. (Nature just keeps right on building better fools.)
  • Some dinky blog seems to think that a lawsuit against a church for a faith-inspired injury isn’t as stupid as it sounds. (I am a filthy self-linker, and I deserve to have a belt sander applied to my genitals.)
spread the panic!
