I must be a walking nightmare for any nutritionist. Curse my Swiss heritage! We love cheese, and Fondu is in the top 5. Also, the dish I eat most at Chinese places is General Tso's chicken, which made the list as well.
FFRF: Creationists Bolstered by Bush "Intelligent Design" Nod More fodder for the fire. This is an editorial from the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Interesting article, and I also believe Intelligent Design isn't science and shouldn't be taught in the science classroom. However, as with every "foundation," it's trying to sell you something, in this case an idea, so take it with a grain of salt. He makes some fine points, though.
The ancients thought thunder and soil fertility were evidence of deities, but now we know something about electricity, weather, and agriculture. Those gaps have closed, and those gods have died. Isaac Newton, a fervent Christian, played the same game. After brilliantly discovering the laws of gravity that hold the planets in orbit, he failed to come up with an explanation for why the planets move in the same plane and same direction. He impatiently declared that these unsolvable mysteries were evidence for an intelligent designer. But now we know something about the formation of solar systems, and that gap has closed.

You can get a satellite image of anywhere in the US. How bloody cool is that?
