Life in Post-Science America

This Troubletown cartoon is going up outside my office door right now, where all us leftist commie elitist college perfessers express our hatred of America.

  2. That was hilarious. By the way, my science and blogging talk is tomorrow. You're featured heavily. Expect huge increases in your visits. smile

  3. Uh-oh. Do you do live demos? Should I avoid putting anything too embarrassing up top?

  4. If I could presume to add a frame:

  5. I love it! I saw it in the Stranger this morning, and my first thought after reading it was "but worker bees AREN'T sexually active!"

    So funny, in a sad sad way.

  6. #6, I had exactly the same reaction w.r.t. the bees. Ruins a perfectly good comic strip. PZ, you shouldn't post this on your door. Who knows what strange ideas undergrads will take away about bees.

  8. Uhm, the worker bees ARE sexually active -- if you're a flower. Think about it, golden showers of a sexual nature, from stamen to pistil, thanks to the helpful worker bee! Makes this penguin's flippers shivver just thinking about it...

  9. PZ--all was good. I forget what was up top during the demo. I think I convinced quite a few people to join the ranks of the bloggers. Some chemists were quite interested.

  10. Funny cartoon, though I must admit I don't like that type of drawing.

    Of an entirely different tangent, or perhaps not, I visited the friday-bar connected to the science studies at the University of Copenhagen, where all the science students hang out on fridays (well, except for the biologists, who have their own - we are sure they just want to keep their women for themselves).
    While debating with a bunch of people who held bachelor degreees in various science diciplines, the talk fell upon Creationism/Intelligent Design. Most of the people knew about the phenomenoms, and we all had a good time laughing about them. Yet later in the debate, the talk fell upon Lomborg and his bad science, and some people actually defended him. So Creationism/ID is so bad science that even Lomborg-defenders can't take it seriously.
