Most Hegel scholars agree …

Cleverest Hegel joke this week:

Most Hegel scholars agree there are 3 kinds of people: those who don’t really understand Hegel, and those who never liked arithmetic anyway.

Funny Monday – Einstein Vs. The Church

From Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, of course. Hahahahahaha!

Oh also, this wonderful quote from Dorothy Parker on “Yale Girls,” via Neatorama:

If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end – I wouldn’t be surprised.

Funny Monday: Goatse 8.1, and Spider Money

My admiration for Mr. Kevin Texturbation rises with this new post, on the triumphantly hateful proposition 8, and his suggestion for further action, on the part of its opponents. His suggestion requires that the reader understand that the Mormon Church (Latter Day Saints) was a major, major funder of the proposition.

The only two reasons I can think of, which are about a billion miles away from mutually exclusive, are: 1) religion, and 2) homophobia.

Gay people: you need to get revenge against these idiots. And I have the perfect solution.

Ban Mormon sodomy.

Final Link Dump for O20 – Brad Will SNAFU, and Funny Monday

These do not go together.

The important part is that the case of Brad Will, an independent journalist who bravely covered the Oaxacan Teachers’ Strike that morphed into the APPO municipal protests of 2006, and who captured his own murder on his video camera, has changed. The people who were trying to protect him and save his life as plainclothes police and government officials fired on them and him, have been charged with his murder. It’s almost unbelievable.

Here’s your funny monday: Some dude digging in his parents’ grave (read that last part again) in Quebec died, as the tombstone fell on him. Hmm….Via BB. Actually, I guess it’s not really that funny.

Funny Monday – Jesus, Use Me!

O, Lordy, what is anyone to make of this? via  bb

Know Your Proofs of God’s Existence, Dammit!

Funny Monday (Late? Early? Buddhist?)

I was busy getting turned into the 6 Million Dollar Man, and neglected to post a funny monday last week. ANd am probably unlikely to do one this next monday (tired from all the implants, doncha know). But this comic qualifies, and is demonstrably Buddhist, to boot:

My wife wants to know “What about the gap? What happens in the gap?”

Funny Monday, September 08, 2008

Neither of these should be funny, but still…

thankfully, it’s a hoax. But a pretty funny one!

Then there’s this one, in which a blogger opens up a discussion on the best ways to dispose of a murdered body. The post itself isn’t so funny, but the fact of it is….hilarious. [via bb]

UPDATE: Dateline fixed. Thanks to Maximilian!

Funny Monday, and some linkage

Nothing too terribly funny about death today. But here’s a close option: Richard Dawkins reading some of his hate mail aloud. Oh lordy. My first thought (along with many others, I’m sure) is that the type of people who send this mail would cringe at hearing their thoughts aloud, with little emotional inflection. But then I remembered that these people are typically born without any sense of shame. [Via bb]

Anna Gosline in New Scientist writes a great article on the experience of dying a gruesome death. Worth reading. [Via Neatorama]

Andrew Walker posts the text of a presentation on the Preah Vihear/Phra Viharn conflict at the National Thai Studies Center last week.

Maximilian gives some of the decent sources for information on real democracy and Denver. You might also enjoy checking in on the news out of Denver at democracynow (running two hour programs every day of both conventions) and Colorado Indymedia.

Yesterday afternoon some folks broke into and vandalized a Barack Obama office in Saint Paul. I guess that explains why police cruisers were in my alley yesterday afternoon (neighbors have never seen that before)?
