Scattershot Department

Evolution Energy, Jury Slavery, Brooks Brothers Fashion.

Random shots around the web:

  • Here's one argument against evolution:

    One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.

    Uh, we call that energy source the Sun.
  • I've always gone for jury duty when called, but if some judge ever grabs me off the street for a jury panel, I'm going to acquit. There's no way this sort of thing happens without some prosecutor who's all hot for a trial, and I'm not going to give him what he wants. (Found this with Google? If you're the prosecutor, I guess now you have cause to strike me. If you're defense counsel...lucky you, huh?)
  • I'm a casual dresser, one might even say a bit sloppy. Never been fashionable, never will be. And if the fashionable people are dressing like this, my wife should be very greatful for my lack of fashionability. (Dear God, what were they thinking?)
