Fundie Ammo?
A "hand of God" in space that's only 17,000 years old?



In a new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, high-energy X-rays emanating from the nebula around PSR B1509-58 have been colored blue to reveal a structure resembling a hand reaching for some eternal red cosmic light.

(of course, they'd have to believe in the science of the calculations...)

3. Now just hold on a minute with yer fancy words and syllables
Now, if man was created in God's image, then human forms are representative of God

(it's easy being a fundie, I don't need logic at all, haha)

2. "Cranberry sauce" sounded close enough to "I buried Paul"
Kept the McCartney deathers busy for years.

4. Did you see Maddow tonight?
I guess there are people out there listening to President Obama's speeches backwards. Apparently, "yes we can" backwards sounds vaguely like "thank you satan." Vaguely...

7. You've inspired me. I'm going to sample "Yes we can" then reverse it
and see what I get.

11. A hand?
If that's a hand, it seems to only have three fingers. A quick survey of all easily available hands shows that two out of two hands (mine) have four fingers (and a thumb). Plus, there is that big old knob half way down the wrist, I don't got one of them either.

12. That's silly! It's obviously a dog catching a Frisbee.
I wonder if there really is a Dog.
