Ω is my own personal favorite transcendental number. Ω isn't really a specific number, but rather a family of related numbers with bizzare properties. It's the one real transcendental number that I know of that comes from the theory of computation, that is important, and that expresses meaningful…
I'm away on vacation this week, taking my kids to Disney World. Since I'm not likely to
have time to write while I'm away, I'm taking the opportunity to re-run an old classic series
of posts on numbers, which were first posted in the summer of 2006. These posts are mildly
revised.
Ω is my own…
Ophelia Benson has a post up looking at an interview between Benjamin Nelson (a sometime commenter here) and Chris Mooney. Nelson summarizes the interview, and the broader accommodation/confrontation conflict, by writing:
[Mooney's] stance is self-consciously political. At least to some extent,…
I heard it said recently that "Evolution" and "Origin of life" are two separate issues. I know that this is a falsehood, and I'll discuss in a moment how and why it is not true. But first, I checked around with a few people that I know and love, and found out that some of them assumed this was…
I wonder where "prismatic engagement ring for a gay couple" lies on the irony scale. I also wonder if it would be more ironic if the couple in question were Christian or atheist.
Oh, and that'd be a great shirt, too.
I lol'd.
Oh, that would explain why the dinosaurs went extinct, if they were topdeck.
They should have had the squid grabbing a unicorn. That would be funny.
I was thinking it would be a much better pic with dinosaurs in the grasp of the tentacles.
ah crap... what's that theory that every thought you think you have that you think is original has already been thought?
Convergent evolution dealing with arks and duck tape. They only difference is that mine explains the dinosaurs, and what happened to Noah's long lost brother.
And those are pretty close to noodly appendages?
Shouldn't there be a cuttlefish sneaking up behind?
Don't let the narwhals near it!
<DuckTM-brand tape, or duct tape?
I'm not sure I'm buying the etymology given here.
Sven, the etymology of Duck tape is what I remember from an article about it American Heritage Invention and Technology magazine.
kewl t-shirt :-)
Teach the controversy!
"They should have had the squid grabbing a unicorn. That would be funny."
Unicorns aren't real.
They aren't now, the squid got them.

Another prominent fictitious cephalopod lives in my city. :p
"That llama should be a unicorn" was my first thought; my second, "or a velociraptor".
I just ordered one, thanks!
Just explained why Noah's ark has never been found.

After 36 hours with the Boy Scouts of America, I NEED Sunday Sacrilege. Giant mollusk attacks just aren't enough to deal with the aggravation...

Need advice and help. Right after National Day of Prayer Proclamation is declared unconstitutional by a judge, my local mayor declares a week of prayer. One session is at Sheriff's department. Another is at County Dept of Education. Another is at the local newspaper conference room...... I'm surrounded. HELP!!!

#22, I commented on the newspaper article you linked to above. Your newspaper sure wants a lot of information to register, but at least you can make up nonsense and still register.
I would totally wear that t-shirt.
#15,
I know, that's why it would be funny.
And the artist is a cool dude.
A whole WEEK of prayer? How does that go down? Does the whole town spend the entire week on its knees in church? Do they declare a week of holidays?
What do they pray for? The Chinese economy not to grow larger than the US in the next decade or so? Peace in Iraq? More prayer weeks?
I think I'd go visit relatives out of town.
purchased!
This is awesome. On a related note, I have a shirt with this on it (it will satisfy some of the longing for dinosaurs):
