Okay, it's time to go. I've heard people say "satire is dead" and "irony is dead." But we're past that: Now even farce is dead.
From Orcinus we learn that there are right wing Christian nuts who are advocating - and I mean seriously, not as a joke or anything - geocentrism, the pre-Copernican belief that the Earth sits stationary, unmoving, unrotating, at the center of the universe and the Sun and all the planets and the rest of the stars orbit around it.
Just shoot me now.
Footnote: On the it can't be all bad front comes news that in the period 1988 to 2005, the percentage of Americans who understood enough science to follow an article in a major newspaper rose from 10% to 28%. The survey also found, however, that college students express more doubts about evolution than previously.
