Friday Cranium Combustingly Cute Blogging
Posted by Jill | 7:13 PM
Another one:












After the unfortunate saga of Knut at the Berlin Zoo, it seems that zoos have learned that these hand-raised Eisbären need to be raised by a staff, so as not to bond too closely with any one person.

Seriously...how cute is that. The only thing cuter may be my neighbors' new Maltese puppy.

While the Vatican is covering for pedophiles, atheists are doing things like this
Posted by Jill | 9:57 AM
PZ Myers:
This is such a sweet story: a little boy willingly hands out cheerful notes and cookies to his neighbors, simply to make them feel good. It's such a feel-good story that a Christian inspirational site picks up on it and shares Logan Davis's good news.

"I wanted to do something to brighten our neighbors' day," the motivated youngster told the news source. "My parents have always taught me it's good to be nice to others."

What none of the stories seem to mention, though, is that it's a godless family.

Bwahahaahahaa! Our plans are working: we shall conquer the world with our niceness and our habit of raising happy, well-adjusted children! And cookies and flowers!

Because that is what we Dirty Fucking Hippies do.

UPDATE: Guideposts, the Christian web site to which PZ links, has taken down its page about Logan Davis. I guess the story just isn't as good a recruiting tool if the child in question doesn't have the Fear O'God in him.

Out of the mouths of babes....
Posted by Jill | 4:59 AM
...come wise things:



UPDATE: It seems the video has been taken down, not because the child's mother objected to it being posted, but because apparently his family has been the target of some extremely nasty comments, and quite possibly worse, as a result of this absolutely precious child showing adults how silly their bigotry is. I'm glad I got a chance to see it before the hatemongers chased young Calen off the Intartoobz.

Not since Knut the polar bear cub was hand-raised by his human handler has an animal rescue captured the public imagination the way "Sam" the Koala has. Here's a reunion of firefighter David Tree with the koala he helped save:




The fires in Australia have claimed the lives of 180 people and possibly millions of animals.

I posted links to organizations helping human and animal victims of the fires in Australia here.
