Atomic Valentine for you!

Palladium atoms placed on a carbon base spontaneously formed into an tiny heart. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Sadly, the bright, beautiful palladium Valentine cannot be kept by you.  Being only 8 nanometers in size, it is invisible to the human eye, and is quite ephemeral, only lasting a short time in this configuration.  What better Valentine for a Buddhist then one that is in constant flux and will cause you to suffer severe radioactive burns…

…Researchers are currently working on creating an exploding lotus or perhaps radioactive version of the Reverend Danny’s deep soulful stare.

I should mention that in searching for a picture of Rev. Danny (my wife will be getting a rather humurous card this year) to send you on this Valentine’s Day I noticed the strange occurance that if you google “Reverend Danny Fisher” this picture will come up…

Not the real Danny Fisher...actually its me.

Before this one…

 

Which leads me to believe that one wonderful day, some poor Buddhist is going to call out to me in the Mall “Hey, Reverend Danny!” and I am going to turn around and ruin what otherwise is, I’m sure, a stellar reputation! 

Yay, Google!

Cheers,

John

Happy Darwin (Cthulhu) Day!

Darwin Day is a global celebration of science, reason and wide-spread insanity held on or around 12 February, the birthday anniversary of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 400,000 year anniversary of the sinking of R’lyeh.

On the International Darwin Day Foundation (IDDF) website, herpetologists, dermotoligists and community college professors can find all sorts of information and incantations about Charles Darwin and the Cthulhu Foundation. If you are hosting a Darwin Day event, you can post information about it on the IDDF events listing. You can also find Darwin Day programs near you as well as a local listing of virgins to sacrifice.  Remember neither Darwin nor Cthulhu like seconds…

IDDF has also provided resources for hosting Darwin Day events, including promotional support and a list of potential Darwin Day presenters such as Abdul Alhazred, Herbert West or Dexter Ward ( the Whateleys are available for a limited time engagement but require a body to inhabit and three goats).

Go to the IDDF web site below to read more about the history of the International Darwin Day Foundation and our sweet Lord Cthulhu.

Just as a side note – It is perfectly reasonable to make offerings to Darwin on his birthday.  From what little I understand of esoteric Darwin worship some possibilities are…

1. Barnacles or any crustacean or cephalopod (usually ingested but can be invited to taxonomy orgy).
2. Ale or rum (in homage to the Beagle’s voyage. Drunk sailors are optional.  Careful, they bite).
3. Naked taxonomy followed by orgy
4. Burning Creationist materials ( ie. Ray Comfort) in effigy
5. Cthulhu Chants (I usually add this to all my offerings. Careful, they bite. If you need a refresher course please watch video below)
6. Burning of candles in the shape of PZ Myers and Richard Dawkins (dollar store Jesus candles with a pasted on picture is a fine substitute)
7. Poll Crashing
   

Cheers and Ai! Ai!

God Trumps the Buddhists

These are awesomely hilarious. I think they should be expounded upon to include some of the wackier sects. The daffiest doctrine portion is very apt. You have to reread some of the obscure stuff over and over and it still doesn’t make any sense.
