What’s better than a math pun?

We can only hope.

I don’t think it’ll happen, but we can hope.

The Myth of Big Riches

Saw a new Isle of Capri Casino billboard on the way into work this morning. Next to the nice looking people that looked like they were having the time of their lives, it read: “Jackpots Found Here”.

Not 10 minutes earlier I read the headline of this article in the Kansas City Star:

Players on a losing streak
In March, they lost a record $66.8 million at Kansas City’s four riverboat casinos.

Makes perfect sense doesn’t it?

Happy Feet = Environmentalist Propaganda

Watched Happy Feet last night.

I’m sorry, but it was a load of environmentalist, secular crap.

(Let me just say this before you get too worked up: I’m not anti-environment. I’m big on good stewardship of the environment. I’m an Eagle Scout and anyone that knows me knows one of my biggest pet peeves is littering — just ask my kids. However, environmentalism is not my god and the movement is not my religion.)

I digress.

This movie reminded me of the overt, tree-hugging drivel in Ferngully.

Not only that, but nearly every song had some sort of sexual innuendo in it. How about Salt n’ Pepa’s “Let’s talk about Sex” and Boyz II Men’s “I’ll make Love to You.” Oh, yeah — in a kid’s movie.

I also thought it was:

  • derogatory to Latinos
  • anti-religious/anti-God/anti-religious establishment (e.g. the Elders of the High Council)
  • pro-gay (Mumble was just “born that way”)

Add this one to the should-have-never-let-the-kids-watch-it list.

If you want more details about what I’m talking about, check out this Screen It review or this Christian Spotlight review.

Ugh.

e.g. or i.e.?

Note to self.

e.g. = exempli gratia or “for example.”

i.e. = id est or “that is”

Hawking explains how the universe was created

Stephen Hawking spoke at the Berkeley Physics Oppenheimer Lecture back in March.

Glad he’s figured out how the universe began.   I’ve always wondered.
