Necessity

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Plato said that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, when the recent economic crisis hit, I expect the gestation period of a lot of inventions may have begun. I will be interested to see what kind of things come out of our desperate times.

I got an idea for a solar powered panini maker this morning. I don’t think it is the answer to any of the World’s problems.

Kentucky Fried Science

This mulleted mannequin and these fiberglass dinosaurs live together in a museum display in Kentucky. Creationists built the museum to illustrate their interpretation of the natural history of the Earth. All 6,000 to 10,000 years of it.

There is an overwhelming consensus among REAL scientists that the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. I personally think that the inception and construction of this museum was a way for some people to scam other people out of some money. I don’t have any hard evidence, I just BELIEVE it.
