Re: Notice-me tip jar (4.00 / 9)

Edit: I see now the journo is the author of 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Intelligent Design.'

I think this calls for a solemn moment of utter deadpan.

Re: Notice-me tip jar (4.00 / 5)

OMG, his wikipedia page is hilarious. I love the "facts" at the end:

Smith, on a hunting trip in 1988, reportedly killed a wild boar with a knife.

The page makes no mention of the scandal. Unfortunately, I don't have time to edit it today.

Re: Notice-me tip jar (4.00 / 3)

Hmmm, looking at the wiki history, it seems that the "Beirut controversy" section was anonymously deleted just today.

Oh look! It's back. That didn't take long.

Re: Notice-me tip jar (none / 1)

OK, maybe I hallucinated that, because the edit history doesn't show that the section was deleted. But I could've sworn it wasn't there when I first looked at the page.

Re: Notice-me tip jar (none / 1)

Hmmm. Not sure what's going on, but I don't think I hallucinated it. Now the line about killing a boar is gone, and the edit history also isn't showing the change.

Presumably "The Intelligent Person's Guide to Intelligent Design" would be a very slim tome indeed.
