Rum and Reason

Our friendly Atheist Hemant Mehta has made my dreams come true by enlightening us to the availability of the infamous Smith Cotton High School Tiger Pride Marching Band t-shirt with evolutionary imagery that was so ridiculously ruled offensive on religious grounds at a high school band event. Read more about the story at Hemant’s blog or contact Main Street Logo to buy your own piece of ridiculous history!

UPDATE:

This shirt is available now from the website http://www.hayseedshirts.com/shirts.php

Phil Plait over at Bad Astronomy has tipped us off to a brilliant blog in which the voyage of the HMS Beagle, or more specifically Darwin’s account of the voyage, is being posted in good ol modern blog form for us to follow at our leisure.  On the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s ‘On The Origin of Species’ this innovative exploration of the voyage which lead to science’s most important discovery comes as a welcome and fascinating diversion from the troubles of modern times.
