Nothing to do at work. Thought I'd share this joke I read somewhere:
don't wish to make fun of
anyone's religion, it's just that years ago I met someone who quoted
something to me from the bible that went something like "in the center
of Jerusalem" and told me that his minister told him that the middle of
"Jerusalem" was "usa" and that therefore the bible was talking about
the United States. I pointed out to this individual that the bible had
originally been written in Hebrew and I think Aramaic, and the new
testament's original language was Greek, and that in those languages
this interesting coincidence might not occur. I think he was surprised
to find out that the bible wasn't written in good old English. Or
good modern English. Anyway it came as a shock to him.

BTW, 'Intelligent design' fails in court
In an opinion issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John Jones ruled that teaching "intelligent design" would violate the Constitutional separation of church and state.
"We have concluded that it is not [science], and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents," Jones writes in his 139-page opinion posted on the court's Web site. (Opinion, pdf)
"To be sure, Darwin's theory of evolution is imperfect. However, the fact that a scientific theory cannot yet render an explanation on every point should not be used as a pretext to thrust an untestable alternative hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom or to misrepresent well-established scientific propositions," Jones writes.

Yeah, that was an interesting trial. A couple weeks ago New Yorker did a long article on it, and the author said the testimonies were far from boring, in fact, you wish that your science class were like this.
the middle of "Jerusalem" was "usa"
Brooklyn, USA, to be more geographically specific.

Another joke from Washington Post's online discussion about recent rise in polls for Bush's approval rating.
Background: A number of people asked the Post staff why an impeachment question about Bush is not included in the poll. The staff said: We don't poll this kind of speculations that have no likelihood of occurring. Stop harrassing us.
Then one reader wrote in and said:
Re- Impeachment: Three words for those of you demanding The President be impeached.
President Dick Cheney.
Very convincing. I scream and run.

Oh, I got one:
What's President Bush's opinion on Roe vs. Wade?
He doesn't care how people get out of New Orleans.
It's funny, but pretty sad.

(NBC: Brian Williams' interview with President Bush )
Brian Williams: I have Newsweek and Time. Cover of Newsweek, look what they've done to you. "Bush's World: The isolated president, can he change?" And inside Time, it says "Bush's search for his new groove." Time magazine says you're out there talking to people. Newsweek says you're in here not talking to people. So what is truth, Mr. President?
President Bush: Well, I'm talking to you. You're a person.

Williams: This says you're in a bubble. You have a very small circle of advisors now. Is that true? Do you feel in a bubble?
President Bush: No, I don't feel in a bubble. I mean, you feel in a bubble in the sense that I can't go walking out the front gate and, you know, go shopping, like I'd love to do for my wife. Although I may, I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to buy her. Look, I feel like I'm getting really good advice from very capable people and that people from all walks of life have informed me and informed those who advise me. And I feel very comfortable that I'm very aware of what's going on.
What kind of b___s__t answer is that?
