Owl Pellets for August 4th through August 6th
Owl Pellets: My Undigested Internets.
- Welcome To The American Patriot’s Bible – The Bible gets remastered so that it's all about America.
- The American Conservative — God’s Country – TAC reviews the American Patriot Bible and has some harsh words for it. Also some interesting info about the founding fathers and their beliefs in God: For example: "And yes, Thomas Jefferson did in fact more than once praise Jesus’ “moral precepts” for their “purity.” But he also edited an infamous version of the gospels that removed all references to Jesus’ miracles and ended not with the resurrection but simply with his death and burial in the tomb. It is true that Jefferson valued the social utility of Jesus’ ethical teachings, but he compared the effort to uncover them in the gospel accounts to finding “diamonds in a dunghill.” "
- BBC – Earth News – Chimps born to appreciate music – It's a really cute video. Or it would be if the devil had not invented apes to mock God's greatest creation: Americans.
- Scientists fear a revolt by killer robots – Times Online – Scientists have a conference about stopping the robot uprising. Look folks – it's GENETIC DESTINY that mankind either destroys itself or creates the lifeforms that will inherit the planet from us or both. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but it's coming one day. Has to. Resistance is futile. This news story should be called: "The Wet Blanket Association Meets to Discuss Cold Feet."
- When It Comes to Robots, We’re Brainless – Columns by PC Magazine – Some fellow is a bit pissed off about that whole anti-intelligent-robot conference. He makes some good points. These guys are a bit ahead of themselves. They're trying to ban something that doesn't even exist yet.
- Black Dandyism – A book on the subject is out. I really want to read it.
