The Eye of the Python
This video doesn’t need much of an explanation if you’re a fan of Monty PythonIt’s adapted from the skit, “The Parrot Sketch“. From the notes on the YouTube Page: Right! Stop that! It’s SILLY!

The god virus
Let it be known: scientific data trumps all religious idiocy in my book. Case in point, the reproductive process. My wife and I have been trying for years to have a child, and we’re generally considered good people. All of our attempts fail, and the pool has run dry. And then someone (say, a family [...]
