Oh no! The Loch Ness Monster totally disproves evolution. Jeeez, and I was just getting used to sleeping in on Sundays. Sad

Sounds pretty legit. I mean I never thought of how a mythological creature that only exists in legend and a few fraudulent photo's completely disproves evolution.

Now I just need to decide which god to arbitrarily believe in.

Apparently the Lochness Monster does exist but it exists on a different dimensional plane only occassionally intersecting with our own. It's essentially a gaint worm, with legs and a head like a horse.

Just as convincing as any other 'disproof' of evolution.

What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Then there's Russell's Teapot which must have divine powers in order to get itself up into orbit between Earth and Mars. I'm going to believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Cast off these false gods and follow the One True Ceiling Cat kthxbai!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Oh no, I'm sorry you guys were wrong. Wait no I'm not! :p

I didn't know the universe was younger than 10,000 years, but it makes perfect sense. Fucking Einstein, what a useless non-genius pre-Nazi bastard he was, telling us lies and deceivements. Good thing the Poms have a great education system, I wonder how I can petition to have this material taught in Australian schools? Children must be taught the truth!

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Quote: "a teleological account of American history as leading to the ultimate fulfilment of God's will"

What a load of shit.

What kind of dumbass motherfuckers would fall for that?
