Yes, but intelligent design happened about 6000 years ago. Neener neener! :P

He's remarkably well preserved for being 189! (Or aren't you talking about the guy I used to work with?)

Intelligent Design as an official Kansas school curriculum standard is dead!

Hopefully KS schools can go back to teaching Darwin's theory and giving the kids enough information to analyze it for themselves instead of being spoon fed bible thumping agendas and garbage.

Public radio just had an interview with an author (I think his name is Edward Humes) about his book Monkey Girl . It was about a Pennsylvania (I think-- a debt collector called in the middle of the interview :( ) case trying to force "Intelligent Design" into the classroom. The book sounded very interesting.

...latest Darwin Award winner

BRUSSELS, Belgium — An animal lover was mauled to death by cheetahs after entering their cage at a zoo in northern Belgium, authorities and zoo officials said Monday.

Karen Aerts, 37, of Antwerp, was found dead in the cage, Olmense Zoo spokesman Jan Libot said. Police said they ruled out any foul play.

Authorities believe Aerts, a regular visitor to the zoo, hid in the park late Sunday until it closed and managed to find the keys to the cheetah cage.

"Karen loved animals. Unfortunately the cheetahs betrayed her trust," Libot said.

One of the cats that killed Aerts was named Bongo, whom the woman had adopted under a special program. She paid for Bongo's food, Libot said.

Animal rights group GAIA called for the immediate closure of the zoo, located 55 miles northeast of Brussels, saying it was unsafe for both visitors and the cats.

Rudy Demotte, the Belgian minister responsible for animal welfare, sent a team to investigate.
