Happy Birthday, Carl Sagan!




Carl has done more to promote Science and Reason, and to dispel religious mythology, than just about anyone else.

You sir, are sorely missed. Happy Birthday.

You ever read the absurd "Amniotic Universe"?

It's kind of odd to wish happy birthday to an atheist who's been dead about 17 years. It's as if you expect him to hear it.

I don't care whether you were athiest, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu are whatever. You made the universe and science interesting and exciting. For that Thank you.

That's why my Carl tattoo was itching!

Just imagine what he would have to say about the current state of the republican party! Well, I guess we could just re-read Demon Haunted World. Hey, just the perfect way to celebrate, no?

I think so but was it the
80's or the 90's. I don't remember when you read it.

Okay. Thanks for talking to yourself.

What's the matter? You aren't talking to yourself any more? Are you thinking science group doesn't like you much either? Just because nobody from science group recognized your pun in the mean op you wrote in one of the forums about Dick Cheney's horrid daughter?
Yep, that one about how what's her ass carries Malaria water for Faux cuz she's a female Monopolies mosquito.

Okay girlfriend they didn't see it and they still don't get it you arrogant ass. Just tell 'em, already!

The female Anophillies ( I had to learn all the genus and species spellings but now I can't) mosquito is the carrier of Malaria.

Which needs eradicated.
