What do you do if you suspect your favorite roommate is a NM?~
By NM I am referring to Robert Kirby's Sunday of the Living Dead, the chapter on the kinds of mormons. You all know what kind I am referring to. It worries me slightly. I only get occasional glimpses of it, but they kinda frighten me. I would give examples, but what if she reads this? I guess she'd probably know it's her, anyway. The latest fright I received was on hearing of the evil nature of Twister. I thought at first that thinking of Twister as a game was just my sheltered upbringing coming out. It wasn't. When I realized that I had a hard time restraining myself from laughing aloud. Apparently it's very sexual in nature. Go figure. I thought it was about making a fool of yourself! Sometime I'll tell you how the subject even came up...so tell me! What do you do if you suspect your favorite roommate is a NM?
PS - Pray for me to finish my big long paper that I'm working on tonight!
Boredom in the PS100 Lab~
As of right now I am the only person in the physical science ta lab. None of my fellow TA's are present, and certainly no students. So guess what I like to do when I'm bored in the lab.
did you guess?
I like to read what has been posted on the little cork board near the door. There are lots of funny comics that can only be fully appreciated by a science geek. There is also this great little card that Maggie had handed to her at a parade in her home town of Payson. I thought I would type it up for you for your enjoyment.

The first side reads...WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM FOSSILS? (and it has a picture of a fossil)
The reverse side reads: Do you know....
...That fossils prove only two basic things?
1. A plant or animal lived.
2. A plant or animal died.
Do fossils point to "millions of years" of evolution? Or, do they represent what happened during Noah's flood? While fossils are used to teach a belief system called evolution, they really should be used to point to another belief system.
BELIEFS MATTER. Consider Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin. These were notorious murderers whose deeds were based on a false belief called evolution. "Particles-to-people" evolution cannot be seen today. It is a religious worldview that does not include a Creator - a belief system behind many evils! Rather than millions of years of evolution, fossils best point to the rapid burial of organisms in the worldwide Flood as Noah, his family, and at least two of each kind of land animal were rescued on the Ark. The BIBLE is a trustworthy record of history!

So there you have it. Crazy, eh? This card has brought much enjoyment to our little lab, so I tried to recreate font sizes and colors exactly as they are on the card. What do you think?
