Indian School names monkey god chairman
If you felt good about outsourcing to the subcontinent before, now you can feel totally confident. It used to be a Bengal Tiger, but the board meetings got WAY out of hand. Besides, the tiger’s Ph.D. was from a diploma-mill.
My next question; how soon before [...]
handbaskets and heresies
I don’t know why I do it. And anymore, I don’t know why it makes me so angry.
For a peculiar reason, I was Googling the terms “Dungeons and Dragons” and “Cultural Phenomenon.” I didn’t really expect it, but I found a link to one of the original purveyors of anti-D&D vitriol, Bill Schnoebelen. [...]
the roman question
So after the Easter homily is complete, I am left with two questions, one based on simple logic, and one based on deeper study of military customs of antiquity.
The first question: why would Pilate “wash his hands” of the affair and then turn around and apply his personal seal to the tomb? [...]
rooftop of the world
The lead story today (at least at the moment) on CNN is about the recent violence that has left scores of people dead in Tibet (link to article). This is not really news to anyone familiar with the history of Communist China since the “Cultural Revolution” - since 1959, China has asserted violent control [...]

I wasn’t a good believer, and now I’m not even a good non-believer.
Check out this kid - he has [...]
the big guy
I can’t believe I’ve not written about this on my site yet. If you have not seen it, you are missing one of the funniest things ever to grace a browser on the Intertubes. See it, fall in love with it, then watch the rest of the Mr. Deity episodes on crackle.com.

lenten reflection
As a nonbeliever now, I listened to yesterday’s prayers about how
awful humanity is, and I have to wonder of the truth of these
lamentations from a humanistic point of view. Is humanity broken? Is
there something wrong with us? Do the newspapers and CNN bear this
out daily?
Imagine a Serengeti newspaper - ever-increasing leonine “gang”
violence, including [...]
transfiguration
As I listened to the sermon this morning about the Transfiguration of Jesus, I immediately started wondering if this was a motive found in other previous traditions. Turns out it is. A transfiguration in the myth of Horus/Osirus in the Egyptian pantheon preceded this story by almost two thousand years. Krishna, as a manifestation of [...]
