Another annoying creationist bumper sticker

And I’ve met a few blokes who were definitely throwbacks to an earlier evolutionary phase.

I even kissed one or two…ewwwwwwwww. (Well, I thought they were princes. Turned out they were just toads afterall). :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m amused at the “Bigger Jesus Fish Eats the Smaller Darwin Fish” emblems.

The friggin’ thing is an example natural selection, but it’s purpose is to say, “I don’t believe in evolution”.

I’d like to see a bumper sticker that says:

If you see this vehicle driving erratically, it’s because the Bible says that pi=3.

Guess we know where you’re going. The baaad place, mm-hmm.

The health of a planet is manifested by the continuing success of its amphibians.

I think the Cthulu fish is my favorite.

Where does the Bible say pi=3?

Okay, Mr. Smartypants, how do you explain the “Innsmouth Look”? Hmm?

Wait a minute. I’m going to take my medication and then read through this again.

Page 87.

QED, maybe someone will come it with a more specific cite, but in the description of (I believe) Solomon’s Temple, a round pool is described as having a diameter of 10 cubits and a circumference of 30 cubits. Ergo, Pi=3.

Of course, that’s if you ignore the possibility that the author was capable of rounding.

This site should explain everything. Basically, somebody wrote an amusing piece of creative fiction that claimed that Alabama was going to redefine pi to 3 and possibly teach this interpretation in schools. The humor piece got passed around enough times that many people started to believe it.

Skammer is correct about the biblical reasoning for the phony law.

Not really on-topic, but I saw this little gem while on a roadtrip to St. Louis:

“Abortion doesn’t make you UN-PREGNANT, it makes you the MOTHER of a DEAD BABY.”

Some people are just begging for the chrome horn.

I saw “The Aftermath of Abortion: One Dead, One Wounded.”

There are not enough :rolleyes: on the web to express my feelings.

Re: the OP, I don’t know why Xians think that simplistic drivel like that will change any minds. Anyone who went to high school can punch holes in that flip little ditty, and look at what a smartypants can do to it. Darwin’s Finch did a fabulous job already.
Where I come from, making specious arguments and oversimplifying complex scenarios makes you look stupid and gasp hurts your credibility! Don’t these people realize that all they’re doing is airing out their ignorance for all to point and laugh at?

When driving through Arkansas a couple of years ago, a friend and i saw this gem of a sign outside a church:

Prolonged exposure to the son may prevent burning.

I thought it was pretty damn witty.

is the funniest thing I’ve read in days.

Thank you.

Dear God, they’ve got The Innsmouth Look! :eek:

It’s also amusing because the bigger fish eating the Darwin fish says ‘Truth’ on it. (At least the ones I’ve seen.)

Of course, ever since walking fish started turning up in US waters last year, the notion of ‘Truth’ gobbling up the fish with legs has become that much funnier.

Hey, all you dumb-ass creationists, the Darwin fish not only lives, but it’s visited Crofton, MD. :smiley:

Anyone else notice it’s real shadowy? Oooh, look, an eldritch horror!

Which will hopefully begin capering madly in the cthonic blackness any minute now.

In any case, it shows that the author was unaware that pi existed. That is, that there exists a ratio between diameter and circumfrence that is constant for all circles. If he did, he would have only given diameter or circumfrence, giving both rounded only creates an ambiguity. Should it be 10 cubits in diameter or 30 cubits in circumfrence? They are two different circles.
