Ed StatuesquePale, Agnostic, and Unemployed, Yippee! Here lies the blog of an unemployed English major eager to share his thoughts on Christianity, Vestigial Organs, and Zombie school. He also has some art and games to display, so take a peek.Zombology- August 9, 2008 Zombie movies have always been an integral part of my life, much like Church or bathing for normal people. (I bathe daily, but if it meant missing a zombie flick on television, Id just throw a towel over the couch and spray myself with Febreze.) Over the years Ive discovered that zombie movies evoke very different reactions from the people in my life.

However, in addition to the white and the male, history favors hyperbole; many of our quotable predecessors had their fair share of off-days, as these recently exhumed quotations suggest:Jews I said juice. I hate juice.

I dont believe in human vestigiality, but not because I dont believe in natural selection. On the contrary, hearing evolution referred to as a "theory" along with watching a pregnant woman sustain a blow to the stomach illicit from me the same expression of horror and disgust. No, the problem I have with labeling a body part vestigial is that it implies an inflated...http://edstatuesque.blogspot.com/2008/07/debunking-human-vestigiality_22.html |
