Wired has an article on a proposed windfarm for some town in upstate NY. The usual not-in-my-backyard arguments are asserted with regard to aesthetics and property values. But here are some new arguments against it that you might not have heard before:

Group members also warned of health problems ranging from strokes caused by the sunlight as it pulsates through the spinning turbine blades to mange in cattle. Others claimed that women living near the wind farms are having as many as five menstrual cycles a month.

Here’s a guy that decided to show his friends Goatse and photograph their reactions.

Here’s a page that randomly shows three unrelated panels of Garfield comic strips. No humor is lost.

From the BBC:

A court in the US has ruled against the teaching of “intelligent design” alongside Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Atheist Agenda, an atheist group at U Texas San Antonio, staged a “Porno for Bibles” event, where they gave free pornography to people who traded in religious scripture.

A Pennsylvania woman is suing Pizza Hut for burns on her chin made by biting into hot fried poppers. Her husband is suing Pizza Hut, too, because now he’s not getting any more hummers.

From Slashdot:

The new Darwin Exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History has ‘failed to find a corporate sponsor in the United States because American companies are anxious not to take sides in the heated debate between scientists and fundamentalist Christians over the theory of evolution’ according to articles at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, and The Register. The $US3 million needed for the exhibit was met by private charitable donations.
