• A reply on Talk: Reggie Watts disorients you in the most entertaining way

  Jun 11 2012: His only goal was to mock the self-important pseudo-intellectuals who actually make presentations like this.

• A reply on Talk: Bart Knols: Cheese, dogs and a pill to kill mosquitoes and end malaria

  May 17 2012: Cockroaches weren't always so resilient to poison. It it over decades of failed extermination that we gradually breeded them into becoming super-resistant to all kinds of toxins we used. The same thing can, and already has, to some extant, happened with mosquitoes.

  A reply on Talk: Alain de Botton: Atheism 2.0

  Jan 17 2012: So you're telling me that since I don't believe in him, Santa is real too? Sweet! Tooth fairy, here I come!
  
  Since I don't believe a response to such an idiotic message deserves an entire post dedicated to it, I'll go ahead and add my comment about the video along with it.
  
  I liked what Alain was saying, but isn't that already what most people have been doing anyways? Picking and choosing bits and pieces of whatever they enjoy to build up their own spirituality, Atheists, Agnostics and Theists alike?
