Why don't you just link to the youtube? You don't like reading the video comments or something?

He's an idiot that has nothing else better to do with his life than sift the web all day and post dumb shit. His job is to make goofy fucking "art" in his spare time while he spends his life doing other dumb shit. Wish I had it that easy.

It depends where I find it. Interesting things are posted at videosift,and sometimes they lead me to youtube,especially if the video refuses to work at the former site. I like to deliver traffic to where I got the link where I can. I really don't spend "all day" looking for stuff,only when I'm eating and want entertainment,and videosift is a great place for such things...

The intro talks about the museum itself, but at 1:30 the visiting scientist Colin Blakemore interviews one of the museum's "resident scientists."

"I have to say, it's a pretty weird place, really."

That place looks AWESOME!!! I'd pay for admission. Hopefully they wouldn't throw me out for laughing too much though. Honestly I think eavesdropping on some of the other patrons conversations would yield more comedy than the exhibits.

"Female genital mutilation was made illegal in Egypt in 2008 but is still very widely practiced. ... Sheikh Yussef al-Badri is one of Egypt's biggest advocates for what he refers to as female circumcision, and has petitioned the country's courts to make it legal again."

Such a characteristic "this is your brain on religion" moment at 2:05 as al-Badri tries to deal with the reporter asking why god would design women with this inbuilt need for surgical correction...

Ugh.. When I first saw this, I imagined something at least in the same ballpark as typical circumcision, as in for hygiene purposes, although I really couldn't even picture that. But silly me, it was removing all their nerve endings needed for external sexual intimacy.

There's so much misinformation around the internet. I've seen several sites calling it something else, but that useless flap of skin around a vagina is actually called ... a woman.

Allah made sex to feel good, except in the case of women. There he fucked up so we gotta carve chunks off of them to fix his handywork.

That's almost as silly as burning perfectly good animals when god could just as easily strike your sheep with lightning if he liked that smell.

a reader wrote to us and maintained that the quiz displayed above belonged to his 10-year-old daughter, saying:
I didn't know that this was being taught to her until we heard a radio commercial together about the Discover the Dinosaurs exhibit was coming to the TD Convention Center [in Greenville, South Carolina].

The Commercial starts out, "After 65 million years, the dinosaurs have returned ..." She commented immediately that it was only four thousand years ago. When I corrected her, she snapped back, "Were you there?"

As someone who went to a private christian school that test and the implications its existence makes are just disgusting.

At the junior high level we had science classes in which they taught the scientific method without alteration. There were times when scriptural references were made, or compared and contrasted with current scientific theory and it was done in a tasteful manner, and in a way that allowed the students to kind of choose which sounded more plausible to them without being told outright crazy and unproven stuff like "dinosaurs lived with humans".

A lot of these discussions included reasons why the creation story in the bible was at best a vast oversimplification made by ancient peoples and how the very way it was written and the form of the analogies used show the level of cultural and scientific advancement of the writers.

This wasn't some newagey christian sect either, as the school and attached church were fairly solid Quakers.

They did it right, while maintaining their beliefs and not shoving them on people as the ONLY facts, and I think it's because they actually drew the line between Bible Study (homeroom/1st period for everyone) and the actual Science classes that people needed to take and pass to have a working knowledge of science and be able to survive in a public school system if they ever did happen to go that way.

How successful would these kids be if they went from the kind of private institution that would give a test like that to a public school teaching actual science?
