“Physicists have some understanding of how magnets function. However, some phenomena that underlie magnetism continue to elude scientific explanation. Exactly how do magnets work?”  — livescience.com I love it.  First they say that physicists don’t know exactly how magnets work.  Physicists have some understanding but there are still phenomana that they don’t understand.  The very next…

I’m watching the movie Noah right now. It’s entertaining enough, but really? Judeo-Christian mythology is deus ex machina in its purest form. For the sake of argument, let’s leave the jews out of this.  They’re a tiny percentage of the world population. So what if their tribal god and the related mythology is a bit psychotic?…

Sulfur doesn’t repel snakes.  How do I know this?  Because when I went into the coop earlier today there was a rat snake resting in one of the nesting boxes, coiled up and all comfortable on a small pile of sulfur.

I feel like the whole world has gone insane. James Brady’s death ruled a homicide by Virginia medical examiner He dies at the age of 73 — 33 years after he was shot — and it’s ruled a homicide?! Bullshit.  I’m not going to waste my time explaining why because it’s obvious to anyone who’s not…

Dear Human Race, Let’s just get it out in the open and lay it all on the line.  I don’t like you.  You are primitive, backwards primates who have delusions of grandeur.  God doesn’t love you and you aren’t the be-all and end-all of the Universe. (Well, you are, but not in the manner you…

Every pertinent movie that I’ve seen follows the same script.  Some guy says I am your king and then people give him leeway. What. The. Fuck. Just because someone was born from a certain set of parents gives them authority over me?  I don’t think so. What dire sin did I commit in my last life that…

I’m listening to Bugger the Bankers right now.  It’s a great song and it makes me think… Dear Human Race: Bless your hearts.  You would be in a much better place right now if it weren’t for your habit of killing the people who come to save you. Jesus.  He’s the big one and the obvious…

What should I do?  It’s like an episode from Animal Planet: Snakes. I lost a pullet this weekend to a snake.  It was a big, black snake. One of two I saw mating in a nesting box the other weekend I saw two different snakes just now.  Not black but brownish with black splotches. One was…

All these people welcoming me back to Facebook.  I’m getting a creepy, cult sensation. Not that I’m angry or upset about that.  It’s nice to know that you were missed.  But it’s still a bit creepy.

Sadie was chewing on something just now.  I took it away from her, but I have no idea what it is or what it goes to or how ruined it is.  …And I just found out.  It goes to my food processor.  Lovely. Today was a good day.  I went out to the coop this…
