Richard Dawkins' Face Found on a Tortilla

This if fucking awesome!

2 August 2008

AREA 51, Roswell, Sunday (UNN) — A tortilla has been found bearing an image in the shape of the face of Richard Dawkins.

Atheists from around the world have united in claiming this as an important sign. "It's a sign of pareidolia, which is what it's called when you see faces in random things — clouds, the moon, Mars, tortillas. Truly, this is a miraculously improbable confluence of random chance."

Over 35,000 atheists and sceptics have flocked to the town, bringing photographs of sick loved ones so that the image of Professor Dawkins may have no scientifically detectable effect upon them. Atheist irreligious nonservices have been packed out with people coming together to fail to worship a lack of God. Sales are at an all-time high of "WWDD" bracelets ("What Would Dawkins Do?"), which atheists look at when confronted by superstition and irrationality. (The usual answer is "shag Lalla Ward.")

Agnostic apparitions are most often associated with sceptical tradition, wherein there is a special emphasis on tangible examples and replicable proof. Today, scientists are usually quick to dismiss such images, one physicist wisely attributing them to "prosaic imagination." However, they remain intensely popular among the practical faithless, as evidence of the cosmic rule that "stuff just happens."

Plans to sell the tortilla on eBay have unfortunately been delayed after it was eaten by a particularly religious poodle. After its emergence, the face on the tortilla now resembles Andrew Schlafly.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on "Intelligent" Design

Tyson is one of the people I would most like to meet. He is the Director of the Hayden Planetarium, and a world renown astrophysicist. He is also a freethinker, like most educated people.

Fanaticism and Ignorance are Forever Busy

Are we still marching backwards toward the dark ages? The Scopes Monkey Trial ended 83 years ago today, and we are still fighting ignorance and fanaticism in our schools. Here is a great clip from one of the best movies of all time, Inherit The Wind
