Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

There’s probably a blog protocol related to avoiding politics and religion but this just stuns me too much to keep silent.
The only country who believes in evolution less than the US is Turkey?!?! I think that scares me more than… Clowns? Nuclear war? Broccoli? I’m really at a loss.

Loco del Calor

Ok, that last post was a cheater since I didn’t really like, write anything. But I did think of it, then look them up on the interweb, pick two funny ones and post them. Some of them made me laugh really hard and with the weather we’ve been having any laugh is a good thing.
