Salon.com | A Theocratic Dark Age, an Interview with R. Dawkins

2005-05-13T13:35:00.000Z

Salon.com News | The atheist Dawkins gives an interesting interview on Atheism in an article from Salon.com (in order to read articles on salon - you have to watch a quick commercial - usually from PBS or Saab or some such. Click the button to get a "day pass" well worth it every day). "...you are slipping towards a theocratic Dark Age. Which is very disagreeable for the very large number of

Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Unused Audio Commentary by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, Recorded for the Return of the King (Platinum Series Extended Edition) DVD It is what it says. I think the best thing would be to print ou the entire commentary, invite a bunch of friends over, elect a zinn and a chomsky, and watch and listen to the "commentary" whilst drinking copious amounts of mead

BBC NEWS | Health | How tunes get stuck in your head Truly one of life's most unjust little pecadillos - the phantom song. Last week I was haunted by the theme tune to the Monkees', Edelweiss, and Dexy's "Come on Eilleen," for far too long on seperate occassions. Luckily, my dear friend Beryl, aka The Great Sandwich, (find her here) once taught me the absolute cure for this disease (did this

Atheists Unite!

A rare glimmer of optimism: I found the following survey by the International Wall Street Journal to be pretty interesting. They surveyed 21,000 people 15 and over in 21 countries (a margin of error of about 3%) with the question: Do you believe in a God or do you not? Here were the percents atheists found: Western Europe: 21% Eastern Europe: 12% Russia: 15% Turkey: 1% US: 8% In Western Europe

Review of Eco's Latest Book

2004-12-05T22:51:00.000Z

I just finished reading Umberto Eco's latest book, Baudolino. For any of you who don't know Eco, he's the same cat who wrote Name of the Rose and, one of my all time favorite books, Foucault's Pendulum. I highly recommend Baudolino. Click the "Comments" link below for a brief review.

Fellow Apes I would like to make an administrative suggestion, using the GoTeam posts as an example. Instead of putting up a separate blog entry for each mp3, which will end up making the site look like a fan club site for whatever issue is hot at the time and drown out any other content, we could post a topic as an entry and any further related material as comments. For example: An entry on the

As soon as I can figure out how to host mp3 clips myself - i'm stuck sending you out to hear this great band via very low quality clips hosted at online record store. I hope you are grooving on the catchy-ness of this. They play at Optimo in Glasgow this weekend (the coolest club night in the western hemisphere says Vanzetti), but I'll unfortunately be eating cheese in France at that time.

I would just like to note that Warka Strong (Poland) is the best beer in the world. I would also like to note the following ad that actually appeared in the "Partys" section of Berlin's Zitty magazine: "Scheune, Schoeneberg, 21.00: 'Gay Rubber Weekend' Welcommin Rubber Party. Dresscode: Rubber" This is why no other city is better than Berlin.
