h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

 
I finally went to bed at about 5 this evening (That would be GMT -5), or about 10:00 PM GMT. Well, at least I keep decent hours in Greenwich!

I had been up since sometime in the afternoon the day before- I think around 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM, or 5-7:00 PM GMT. Which means I've slept 3-4 hours in 24.

They say that Ralph Nader only sleeps 4 hours a night, and has been doing it for years. I wonder if he gets enough REM sleep? People go mad after seventy-some-odd hours without it.

I stayed awake for 4 days one time- no drugs, just adrenaline poisioning.

I think it's adrenaline poisioning which causes those dominant apes to go to pieces, once they've been beat down into the crowd by the other apes. Their testosterone levels plummet, their hearts get bad, the only sexual relief they find is masturbration, they're nervous wrecks, and they soon die thereafter. Kind've like post-traumatic stress disorder.

It sucks being an ape, doesn't it?

It's funny how the most ape-like people are the one's who most vehlmently deny their apehood. I'm proud to be an ape.

A random thought has interjected here- and I'm not one to keep random thought and chaos at bay.

Here is that random thought:

Both Creationists and Evolutionists believe essentially what it says in the book of Genesis, that "man was made out of the clay of the Earth". The difference is that the Creationist says he KNOWS the precise mechanisim whereby Deity- if there is such- accomplished this goal; the evolutionist says he MIGHT know how this was accomplished, based on what evidence is to be found in said Earth.

How tiny do they think Deity is? Why would Deity essentially LIE about how it's goals were accomplished, via the fingerprints left in the rock and soil? Why should Deity be interested in Aladdin-like transformations, useful only to dazzle eyes which can comprehend, when it has the powers of the universe at it's beck and call?

Puzzling, no? Especially when you consider the few billion years neccessary to propigate our species via the forces of nature are but a drop in the bucket of eternity. Eternity is a long time...

"A thousand years are as one day to God, and a day as a thousand years.", sound's like some pretty heavy relatavistic-time thought invested in that observation. Someone who had considered the plasticity to things we often take to be rock-solid. Like books written by other apes.

I think the reason that evolution is so threatening to fundies is that they lack the insight to conceptualize anything beyond a Deity who is essentially a character not much more evolved than the Greek's Zeus in scale. They reduce Deity to human size, in other words, and attribute their own desires to it.

They are the one's who need "magic", not Deity!

I've allowed myself to wander on, haven't I? I'm all pooped-out now, though, so I'll no longer bend the reader's ears. Odd turn of phrase to use considering this is visual communication, isn't it?

Look! A fishy!
