I have just added an awesome new entry to my Argument from Food post: The Argument from Pickle!

Ah, nothing this evil ever dies easily. Today I received the following cursed e-mail (Arrr!) from Victor Hafichuk’s tweedledum, Paul Cohen. Apparently even though Victor agreed to shut up he didn’t apply that decision to Paul, who still wants to make a buffoon of himself.
Robert, Paul Cohen here.
We have dealt with many religious vipers. You [...]

The following is provided as a service to those searching the web for information on these guys, and who might be inclined to risk a few IQ points interacting with them. It is an e-mail exchange I recently had with Victor Hafichuk and Paul Cohen, two apparently inseparable buddies with beards who sell organic food [...]

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
When you expect whistles, it’s flutes
When you expect flutes, it’s whistles
What various paths are followed in distributing honors and possessions
She gives awards to some and penitents’ cloaks to others
When you expect whistles, it’s flutes
When you expect flutes, it’s whistles
Sometimes she robs [...]

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first [...]

Well, you can stake that claim—
Good work is the key to good fortune
Winners take that praise
Losers seldom take that blame
If they don’t take that game
And sometimes the winner takes nothing
We draw our own designs
But fortune has to make that frame
We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s [...]

Philip Appleman is distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Department of English, Indiana University, Bloomington, and has been called “the poet laureate of freethought and humanism.” His poetry is by turns touching, funny, and bitingly satirical. Dr. Appleman has graciously granted permission for me to publish a number of his poems here, so watch for them [...]

YouTuber potholer54 has finished his excellent “Made Easy” series (written about previously here) and embarked on a meticulous (and hilarious) debunking of creationist bullshit in his new channel potholer54debunks. I’ll be linking to each chapter here as potholer54 posts it.
Part 1: Introduction

With all the people doing inane, attention-whoring video blogs on YouTube, it’s nice to run across some grey bloke named Graham who is just being himself. In this first posting, he explains his thinking on getting fit.

But lately, Graham has been feeling his age and has become somewhat preoccupied about religion.

What is this weird food fetish creationists have? The following are actual creationist videos that attempt to argue for the existence of God from food.
Argument from Banana
• The modern banana was created by selective breeding and can no longer even reproduce without human help.
• Coconuts are Satanic.
Argument from Peanut Butter
• Proposing that the theory [...]
