His Supreme Whatever-the-fuck Ratzinger:

Even in our own lifetime, we can recall how Britain and her leaders stood against a Nazi tyranny that wished to eradicate God from society and denied our common humanity to many, especially the Jews, who were thought unfit to live. I also recall the regime’s attitude to Christian pastors and religious who spoke the truth in love, opposed the Nazis and paid for that opposition with their lives. As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the twentieth century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus to a “reductive vision of the person and his destiny”

The pope is a hairy otter's ballsack.

I quite like Baroness Greenfield in a general "wow, synaptic pharmacology sounds bloody complex" kind of way, but comments saying that the suggestion that physics doesn't need a god is "Taliban-like" piss me right off.

I mean do we really need to clarify that all Hawking said was that the our understanding of physics is self-contained enough not to require a god to explain the existence of the universe, not "Listen, fuck-knobs, I'm smarter than you and god is a twat who doesn't even shitting exist! Also, Hitler was right."

If we're talking about smug complacency, maybe we should look to someone who has a tendency to leap before they look, and in defence of the state religion say unpleasant things that they perhaps don't mean in response to something that wasn't really a threat at all.

Greetings Small Humans,

Some of you may know, others may not, that I am currently working on a multiplayer video game, Natural Selection 2. We're just approaching our alpha release, which will be the first public playable version of the game, and will be out on 26 July.

If you enjoy shooting aliens in space, or biting humans in space, and if you enjoy an innovative combination of first-person action and real-time stragegy, then check it out.

Yes.

How to ensure maximum publicity for your new gagging order.

"Marketing experts were stunned today at the success of media law firm Carter-Ruck's high profile 'gagging order' campaign, designed to generate buzz around their client Trafigura's latest toxic waste product."

This is important.

A conversation at the Telegraph:

"We need more content for our internet web site page!"

"Oh no! Whatever will we do all the real news is already up there!"

"I know!!!!!!!!!!! We'll get someone who knows precisely nothing about the web to post some pathetic excuse for a recycled turd!"

"That's great! Trebles all round!"

Seriously, that is a pathetic effort. I mean, for fuck's sake, some of those sites are obviously missing images, content and style sheets. But no, apparently some lazy shit-for-brains at the Telegraph genuinely thinks that those sites all really looked like that.

The EVOLUTION TEST!

This is fucking brilliant. I've not seen such incredibly potent, concentrated stupidity for a while.
