ROFL. Dude I was taking a sip of water when Shermer played the corrected re-cut of that British singer's song, and I blew water out of my nose. That was pretty funny.
Bring on the TED talks. I loved the Dawkins one. There's actually one with Julia Sweeney here. I'll post this link in another thread. It's hilarious, as partway through she spends a few minutes talking about a conversation with Mormon missionaries. Pretty funny stuff, and I'm surprised nobody mentioned it here yet.[/url]

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

It's been mentioned here several times so far.

Hmm, that's odd, I didn't remember seeing that particular one mentioned. Oh well, mind blank I guess. But still, it was pretty funny.
