Dinosaur Adventure Land
ON DINOSAUR ADVENTURE LAND
This is the strangest thing I've seen so far this week, and I'm a diggdot reader. Dinosaur Adventure Land (site navigation requires JavaScript) is a dinosaur-themed education park with all the usual things - fossils, a "back in time" ride, huge plastic dinosaurs: you get the idea - that you'd expect a … -

God’s Debris
Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) has released as a free e-book God's Debris, a short fray into religion and philosophy. I've read several of Scott Adam's books before. Most of these have been comic books - compilations of Dilbert strips. Others have been his interesting, satirical books on office life and tongue-in-cheek guides to survival …

Bush On ‘Intelligent Design’
Bush approves of 'Intelligent Design', we hear, a theory that's gaining popularity amongst some Christian groups as a competitive scientific approach to the theory of natural selection. It specifies that while evolution has occured, it was guided by an intelligent force.
But the thing that it's fans repeatedly fail to notice is that it isn't a … -
Amused Me This Monday Morning
Two things of a religious nature that amused me this morning:
The Rapture Index - what happens if you take the models used to predict global stock exchange behaviour and apply them to biblical prophecy about "the last days". It's funny, right up until you realise that they're absolutely serious. Pretty site, though.

A.I. For Deluded Nutcases
Some goon (sorry: Californian counsellor) has patented Inductive Inference Affective Language Analyzer Simulating Artificial Intelligence (including the Ten Ethical Laws Of Robotics). It's nothing but unintelligible babble, interspersed by (inaccurate) references to artificial intelligence theory. The author (who also writes a book on family values with a distinct evangelic slant, from which most of the …

Orange Gives Me 80p For No Apparent Reason
Today, Orange sent me a text message apologising for charging me for two picture messages earlier this year, and have apparently credited me 80p as a gesture of compensation. The Register reports that this has happened to others, too, but I can't help but feel that Orange's mistake is even larger than they thought it …

Amazon Embraces The Religious Divide
In these interesting times, as acts of terrorism committed in the name of religion become more commonplace, I was delighted that Amazon would give me the following suggestion:
AltAmazon - Perfect Partner: Buy Qu'ran and The Holy Bible today!
I might just click on the button, just so I feel that I've done my bit. See also … -
Avatar Diary
Went to church with Alecia and Richard. There's a weird experience for me. Tasted the new flavour of Juicefuls from Brewsters while I was in town - Strawberry flavour. They're just as addictive as all the other flavours. Though I had intended to use the remainder of the day to finish tidying my room (the …

Avatar Diary
Maths in the morning. How is it that the first lesson in a new module always makes so much more sense than any other one? Went home for lunch in my three-hour break, returning for Psychology. Watched a video on "Eyewitness Testimony". We've seen the same one three times now. Alecia took the second half …
