Today is the 10th anniversary of the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District court decision, where Judge John E. Jones III ruled that:
"Teaching intelligent design in public school biology classes violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (and Article I, Section 3, of the Pennsylvania State Constitution) because intelligent design is not science and "cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents." quote from Wikipedia Kitzmiller v.

Happy Kitzmas, Tanypteryx! Glad I don't have to enunciate that right now--hard enough to type."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads." Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.-Terence

Man, I thought I was gonna see festive kittnz...still, this is good. And my first thought was a not too subtle comment on the commercialism and the kitschness of modern celebrations. Or an ironic reference to one of my favorite old comic strips the Katzenjammer Kids ... But it's all good. by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Your neocortex is out of control. And I've been brushing my cats.
Yeah, the Kids. If you don't know the Kids, you can't know what it's like to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle. They were in the paper I delivered in the 50s. In my mind, they live next to Fritz the Cat."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads." Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.-Terence

RAZD writes: Or an ironic reference to one of my favorite old comic strips the Katzenjammer Kids ... Yep, I liked them, too. They were my dad's favorite, along with Maggy & Jiggs. Omni writes: Man, I thought I was gonna see festive kittnz...still, this is good. I can't find them right now, but a few weeks ago people were posting videos on the web of katz being surprised by cucumbers, they were quite funny.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

good times and Steve Canyon and Alley Oop. Alley Oop fueled my early interest in both science-fiction and science.

Traditionally Kitzmas is celebrated by burning an unconvincing wooden horse.

I thought they burned all gifts to the gods.
Why, just yesterday I burned a gift and thought, this one's for Whoever, if there is a Whoever and Whoever isn't offended by it--a sorta Universal Unitarian benediction. I enjoy the company of Smoke (10 months) and Grace (8 years). Grace was feral, and remained fierce until 2-month-old Smoke arrived--she became a patient, tolerant, playful sister: kittens even charm cats. They play fast and furious and cheer me enormously. They wake me at 5 for breakfast by nuzzling my ears and licking my eyebrows, so I start every day laughing. In other news, cat videos redeem the web."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads." Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.-Terence
