Left Behind isn't Christian fiction, it's Sci-Fi.

Yesterday I spent most of the day volunteering at the local library's book festival packing boxes and being around older people who smell of cigarette smoke. All the books were placed in their respective sections, such as Fiction and Mystery. (Just for the record, I bought a few books there- The Fundamental Liberties of a Free People  being one of them...)

Anyway, while browsing around, I found the entire collection of the Left Behind series adaptation for kids. Conveniently titled, Left Behind: the Kids. The whole collection was being sold altogether. And fortunately, no real reader thought it was worth their time.

When I arrived to the poor excuse of a Sci-Fi/Fantasy section, I realized the collection of thick books with a similar look and feel to all of them, and I realized that the Left Behind books had been placed in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section. Obviously, where they belong...

Unfortunately, it seems to me that many of the readers of this series (or subscribers of the faith) do indeed believe it to be fact...

The Pigasus Awards- 2008

It's that time of year. James Randi (ahem, the noted skeptic) has announced the winners of his Pigasus Awards. Check out this video from the man himself... Oh, and if you haven't already subscribed to the JREF Channel on YouTube, get at it. 

Gmail turns 5

So, apparently Google's email service has been around for 5 years now. That is, according to google. How do we know it's true? Because Google would never lie.

Happy birthday, Gmail.

Today, from Pharyngula...

The NY Times has an interactive feature up right now dealing with Darwin's Origin of Species. It wouldn't hurt to read some of the articles there, if you're into biology (especially Evolutionary Biology) or have some time to give.
