Ali and I are getting married. Soon. That is, if the Polish consulate decides to answer our phone calls so we can get the documents we need. That shit is ridiculous. Poland is part of the Schengen space, she's been living here since 2010, and yet we need a certificate of celibacy (understandable) a...

https://twitter.com/incontrariomotu/status/729122754641989632 How utterly unsurprising to discover the following facts about Dan Donnelly: 1. they are a white male, with a beard, following Surly & RW, & write for Skepchicks 2. they possess a PhD in Historical Musicology, lists 'having taught at a '...

Meanwhi.le, Mykera is drunk and heartbroken on twitter.

Gutted. Andy Partridge turns out to be a mad troofer. https://twitter.com/xtcfans/status/729401346584158210 I'm more enjoying the reaction of hipsters to discovering their favourite rapper might be a tad anti-semitic.

Happy Mothers Day. Skeptickle, HunnyBunny, Rayshul and I know I'm missing some, happy mother's day. Thank you. (I'm not a fan of Mother's Day, but will hold off on railing about it for now.)

*snip*Wow. What a great blast from the past. If you want to understand where we have come from since the 50's, this is the place to start. And end. For those under 40 years of age I think your parents consent should be needed. But since it isn't proceed at your own caution and prepare to have your ...

The candle is nearly out on PZ Myers as being seen as having any credibility on any subject, anywhere.

Ok, so Steersman finally wrote something worth reading on his niggar/cunt hypothesis. Not for the actual content but the responses from Feminace over at the Orbit. Yes, Steers went and argued the use of the word 'nigger' with Crazy Nikki, aka Feminace. Feminace : Geez, I feel like I’m talking to a r...

Nope definitely going with he has a small weiner. He looks the sort.

Pat Condell is a racist. He and Steers would get on well.

Thanks to all for the enlightenment on Phil 'Not A Scientist, but does do Sci Com' Plait. So just another worthless SJW who makes little to no contribution to humanity except to point out that it is really mean to point out facts to a chosen few women on social media. Got it. Also, is the guy trying...

And seeing as none of you have bothered to enlighten me as to who Phil Plait is, I had to google that shit. Google says he's a popular science blogger, so I'm going to assume he's not a scientist then?

Did I really get reported for sending the tee shirt company 1x link to Surly's Skepchick article and 1x link to the commons T&Cs? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh the harassment. It burns.

Someone needs to ask Nerd what he thinks of the Scibabe calling herself a scientist, because he knows the difference.

I like graveyards for that too. The difference between the Abbey churchyard in the UK where posh folk got to go, and the little local parish church where there were lots of infants.

Maybe NZ peaked early. It seems to have got some chill. I've only been here since 2009.

Science is oddly elitist in comparison to other fields. Anyone who gets a degree related to civil engineering gets to call themselves an engineer.

Hmm, Limousin. Famous as the location of that significant Allied breach of the German lines, in late October '44, which most war historians attribute as being due to the cunning use of the (then) new 'Firefly' Sherman, equipped with the more powerful 75mm gun.

But the important question is, should there be segregated toilets for real scientists and those who merely co-opt the term?

He even had a complete catalogue of celestial objects named after him. SF author Roger Zelazny has a crustacean name after him. Which is more than Myers can say.

I've been needling Carrier for hitching his wagon to an alternative kook institute ("The Space" - that of the Reiki lessons). His counter argument is that The Space is no different to a typical community library and offers free expression for all. Exhibit A: [.img]http://i.imgur.com/re1YJas.jpg[/im...

I think Steers has the answer for all this Scientist / Not Scientist quibbling. If a woman is not a woman when she stops producing ova, it follows that a Scientist is not a scientist when s/h/it stops producing science.

On the Scibabe debate, I went to her site and picked an article at random - http://www.scibabe.com/food-babes-treat-1500-calories/ . If that is an example of someone who should be called a scientist then humanity really has dumbed down dramatically in the last 3 years.

My Islamic apologist daughter identifies as pan sexual. Wot a surprise. Although in practice this seems to amount to little more than posting tame girl on girl kissing pics on facebook.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, some were, to put it delicately, more helpful than others :roll: :doh: After consulting the eldest daughter, whose response was to 'ignore her, everyone is sick of her 13 yr-old-tantrums.

Since FT posted about wonderising Steers because everyone was quoting him, we have had 2 pages of people quoting Steers. I think the pleas for Steers to stay are a lie, everyone secretly wants him gone so they can detox and take the pledge.

*snip* Think of the outpouring of 'lets Steers stay' more as the Pit having a weird Uncle who shows up at family weddings. No one wants to sit next to him, but they can't leave him of the invite list. We still don't want to read the tedious shit you type about how you are right and the rest of the ...

By consent I mean informed interspecies consent. Can a dog give informed consent to being violated by a polyester-wearing bloke?

A couple of days ago someone retweeted a furry on my timeline. I clicked on the profile and learnt two things. You can now buy dildos in the shape of dog penises, and furrys do not understand the concept of consent.
