In "guy with board" video, it looks like there's a 1-2 inch strip of hardwood in the front (possibly back too) that he stands on so the board doesn't break. There's a line running all the way along the board. In the center, it's softwood. Just my skepticism.

jesus christ. I am at a complete loss for PZ and crew's utter obtuseness on this one. One has to wonder if Richard Dawkins was a woman and said exactly the same thing if they would have reacted the same way.

The problem started when Dawkins, Hitch, Harris and Dennett let PZ be an apprentice stable boy. When they patted him on the head to say he's doing a good job, he assumed he would get to ride one of the horses someday. Now he's left the ranch and all he knows how to do is shovel shit.

How come PeeZus didn't take on Hitch when Christopher talked about his experiences in the public schools of Britain? Hitch had similar (I don't remember adults, but older boys certainly) experiences and pretty much the same attitude as Richard toward the situation. Hitch would have mopped the floor ...
