Just Sayin’
Thursday, February 5th, 2009



I was reading some comments on a thread over at Pharyngula about a video that was just super saturated with stupid. I mean, you could not dissolve this amount of stupid just by stirring it in warm water. You’d need something far above atmospheric pressure. One commenter lamented the fact there is no term for this kind of stupid in the English language.
That’s when JackC saved the day* and suggested Weapons-grade stupidity. Thank you JackC. You have just saved me a lot of colorful verbiage.
*Listen, if you click that link, you might be tempted to watch the video. I am warning you, it will make you angry, cry, and vomit. Even I could not get through it.
Wow, whale transitionals are starting to feel mundane.
Ladies and gentlemens, Maiacetus inuus.

Thanks to Geoff and Redd Foxx.
UPDATE: Here’s a little more detail.
UPDATE: Here’s a new image (click to enlarge):
On top is Dorudon, another primitive whale with obvious, tiny hind legs. This is clearly an ocean going whale. On the bottom is our beloved Maiacetus, with obvious, less tiny hind legs. Clearly this animal can walk on land, at least a little bit. But compare the two skulls! They are ridiculously similar! I expect people like Answers in Genesis to try to make believe that this is not really a whale, so, having pointed this out, let me say it in advance: Suck it, creationists.
