1. The Fleas Are Multiplying!

Don't worry. Bottom line: Are ANY of these flea scratchings NYT bestsellers? The numbers show that there are more of us than anyone suspects, and fewer of them. It only seems like there are so many religious nincompoops because they are so LOUD.

As science reveals more and more about the universe, the mumblings of the religious look more and more silly and embarrassing, and they KNOW it.

Clearly we will prevail, and it scares the crap out of them.

2. Pope abolishes limbo

The version I read of this article said that the former pope had ordered "a study on Limbo," which absolutely cracked me up. Sort of like, "Call the experts! We are doing a study on dragons!"

What exactly were they claiming to STUDY? I mean, the limbo thing isn't even in their official rule book. They made up the "problem" of the unbaptised babies, then pretended to be merciful heroes by "fixing" it.

Reminds me of a three-year-old I used to know who would run over ants with her tricycle, then put a bandaid on the pavement over their squashed bodies.
