from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun, The Edmonton Oilers are clearly a hockey team in big, big trouble. And next comes double trouble. It was Game 16 and the body language of Pat Quinn’s team was that of a club mopping up the season with 16 games to go and out of the playoffs. The Oilers now head into the double trouble part of the schedule which will see them play 11 of the next 16 games on...

Nature and its laws seem to be governed by patterns which can be described mathematically, and human beings have been hard at work trying to make sense of such patterns for a very long time. In this first episode of the documentary series The Story of Maths, Marcus du Sautoy (who recently succeeded Richard Dawkins as the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University),...

And now for something completely different. John Corzine, the former Bush-appointed US attorney challenging New Jersey Democratic Governor John Corzine in today's election, doesn't seem to know much about copyright law, say members of the British comedy troupe Monty Python. Two former Pythons say Corzine blatantly violated copyright law when he used clips from a Monty Python [...]

Say what you want about Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie, but he knows a little something about the good people of New Jersey. In Texas, they may like candidates who strongly defend the right to bear arms. And in Wisconsin, a fine knowledge of dairy issues might secure you votes. But in New Jersey, it's [...]

Tomorrow's the big day - when New Jersey residents pick between incumbent governor, Democrat Jon Corzine, or outspoken opponent, former US Attorney Chris Christie. I've already written about Republican Chris Christie - and how his shameful record of corruption makes him a horrible choice for Governor . Fortunately, I'm not the only person to realize this - and recent opinion polls have shown that Christie's...

Well here is a rather negative take on the emergence of the ‘virtual church’ written by Todd Matocha for Evangelicals Now I don’t agree with most of his comments frankly (but I do accept some), and recently wrote a short piece on this blog relating to the rise of the ‘virtual church’, which I will regurgitate, [...]

The publicly fat Chris Christie, a licensed lawyer, saw zero problem with taking a Monty Python sketch essentially in its entirety, editing in some choice Jon Corzine-is-awful-themed WordArt on the bottom of the screen, and airing it on national television without clearing it by the Monty Python people. Now Terry Jones and Michael Palin are [...] Monty Python - Terry Jones - Michael Palin - Television...

Chris Christie, 47, the GOP candidate for Governor of New Jersey in Tuesday's gubernatorial election, has used some Monty Python material without permission. The comedy troupe is none-to-happy. Christie is a lawyer, and a former U.S. attorney. He was appointed by George W. Bush as a U.S. Attorney in 2001 on Karl Rove's recommendation. The campaign advertisement, titled "Deja Vu," attacked...

I really enjoyed this from Stuff Christians Like and yes I have experienced this personally. Where else in society do you go where you have to constantly stand up and sit down? It drives me bananas and frankly it’s just weird when you think about it. Pastors who forget to tell you to sit back down. A [...]

I’m a fairy person. I grew up loving fairy stories — the classical fairy tales and various delightful stories involving encounters with little, magical people. So I was totally charmed by Laura Amy Schlitz’s forthcoming book The Night Fairy and delighted to see Betsy Bird’s mention of the associated website. It is indeed the perfect [...]
