Oh my. I did not notice that. No Christian fundy would sell that.

Heh, and here's an irreducibly complex mousepad:

This is something that I really can see real life fundamentalists selling. I am sure that if AiG had it on its shop that they would be able to sell a lot of them.

That pad is very funnay!! I think I want one, just for kicks and giggles. However, while looking at their other merchandise, I think i want the tiles. I think it would look REALLY great if I could re-wall the whole house with the tiles.

Well, that'd be kind of expensive.

Anyway, while perusing the very strange site, I came across the people that these guys hate: The Landover Baptist Church. And you thought that the 'objective' Christian guys were weird.

But hey, these Baptists aren't all that bad; they are making a mod to "Unreal tournament" with a Jesus-faced character and God-mode standard. How convienient, because being the cheater I am, that's just one less thing to type in, and the Jesus lookalike will be a hilarious add-on for my LAN parties.

What a joke. And a waste of HDD space. And a waste of bandwidth. and a waste of paper, cause I printed out the Unreal Tourney article to show to my brother and my fiancee.

I haven't laughed in months, and I almost peed my pants looking at these wackos!! Happy (Dinosaur) Hunting!!

Oh, we've already known about Landover. It's a parody site.

From the talk.origins newsgroup:

I am a bit suprised that it was not another group doing it since Landover is always about as subtle as a few hundred hydrogen bombs.

If it is, then I am sure they would not like that site on their server.

The site has come up before. It's previously been on other legit Christian hosts including www.ilovejesus.com and www.truepath.com Every few months it seems that its hosts finally get wise to it (they must be slow on the uptake... or not check the sites they're hosting very carefully) and they move to another Christian host... who don't check their content too carefully either.

ILoveJesus.com has had to clean up many hatespeech messages left by the Infidel thugs from its boards but, thank the Lord, they didn't manage to do any permanent harm.

Are these assertions actually true? Where was the organised call to arms for a hate campaign, and why wasn't it shut down?

It must be a parody - the first picture posted here looks suspiciously similar to the 'photo' taken by those Loch Ness Monster researchers a few years back... in fact I'd be willing to bet it is the same picture. Dinosaur - riiight.

I can't believe anyone actually took that article seriously, it was a laugh a minute. Your fist clue should have been the casual mention of the expedition looking just like "any other Creation research expedition you may be familiar with from your kid's Sunday School science classes or nature programs on TBN". When is the last time you have heard of either of these things occuring?

The pygmy village being wiped out by eating the flesh of a diseased Apotosaurus, with the exception of one old man who had no teeth and survived because he couldn't eat it was absolutely rich. Then they find the dinosaur and it is only 7 feet tall, due to the "degradative forces at work in the jungle that had shrunken the pygmies since their descent from Noah", what a hoot!

Cursory examination of the photo will reveal that it is the foreleg of an elephant, complete with the elephants trunk visible in the left portion of the picture.

VonEvilstein · 01-21-2003, 03:34 AM

but what I still fail to get, even visiting this joke for a second time, is how the leap from "there's still a dinosaur around" tot "this proves the Bible" can take place.
Why this, and not the bloody coelocanth?
