10. People who believe in talking snakes and virgin births are allowed to hold public office. Currently it is the opposite; belief is basically a requirement.
9. Libraries still use the dewey-decimal system.
8. Sending a text message costs 10cents, but a data plan costs $10/month. What’s the difference….it’s all digital signals.
7. It’s cool to be dumb in high school.
6. People actually watch Fox news.
5. 91% of Americans believe in god.
4. $1.2 trillion can buy this, a bit outdated but still a good article.
3. People still use Internet Explorer 6, or less. IE 6 accounts for 30% of IE traffic on this site. Overall I am actually pretty impressed with my readers. My site is viewed by Firefox 75% of the time, well ahead of the Internet average. That reminds me, make sure to download Firefox 3 tomorrow.
2. People pay for bottled water.
1. The Homeschooling Science Fair (Where is the science?) I feel really sorry for this girl, but I am putting her picture up anyways:
If you guys have any more to add to the list, just email them to me, and I’ll add yours to the list with a link.
I just captured a neat screenshot…Barack Obama is now following me on twitter……cool. You can follow him here.
Ok, I didn’t get owned that badly, but I have definitely been one upped. Last week, I posted a Lego creation of the online personality Chris Pirillo that I made at home. Yesterday, some more Lego creations appeared in Pirillo’s Flickr Photostream. These new ones are definitely better than the ones I did. The bad part is that my Lego is still at my parents’ place, so I can’t try to make a better one.
These were made by someone under the alias Oysterjelly565. I couldn’t really find any info about this guy. Maybe he should have taken Chris’s recent advice to make sure you have an online home. To quote Chris:
It’s great to have accounts on many different places. But if you cannot at least direct people back to you somehow, by having your own personal space to keep track of it all… you’re potentially losing yourself and your identity
…..will the real Oysterjelly565 please stand up….
Here’s the Lego creation:

Two of my buddies, Aiden and Tyler, have just left my home in Victoria, BC to bike across Canada. I went on a 100km ride with them for the first leg and I am glad that I am not going all the way. Just thinking about the whole trip makes me tired. This is the sort the thing that everyone talks about, but nobody actually does. Aiden and Tyler are actually doing it
They are planning on stopping at the Big Valley Creationist Museum in Alberta, which I have blogged about previously. Since last posting about it, the museum has produced a promotional video that I have embedded below. I am looking forward to Tyler and Aiden’s first hand report
Check out their blog and Tyler’s Fickr photostream. Good luck with the trip guys, all the best.
Here’s that Creationist Museum promo video for a quick laugh:
