I have a different approach to the Intelligent Design pushers. "Design" sounds innocuous, because its just thinking, right? However you can't make watches or other complex things without a manufacturing process. First comes design, then manufacture. This is the "missing link" of Intelligent Design.
The ID people claim they aren't pushing religion, so lets take them at their word.
How was life, or the Universe manufactured, and by who? The ID people say it wasn't humans. So was it aliens? They must have very advanced technology!
Its not technology they say? But technology is just applied natural laws. Oh, the Intelligent Manufacturer didn't use natural laws, but SUPERNATURAL laws? You mean MAGIC???
So the missing link between Intelligent Design and reality is the application of supernatural laws, and this should be taught in high school science classes. Magic.
Applied supernatural laws would be wizardry and/or witchcraft.
The kids are going to love the new Hogwarts-style Witchcraft and Wizardry science classes!
Sunday 12th February at 1:30pm in Sydney Steele Road behind the Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre. It looks like a lot of fun.

Their website http://www.rocketcarday.com reports:
"You may experience a slight rumbling in your bowels as the week progresses. Do not be alarmed this is the bodies natural reaction to an impending rocketcar day.
Whether or not you’re involved in making a rocketcar, or you’re just turning up to hang out on the street and catch the some rays from the glow of excitement that will be emanating from all around you, the time is soon approaching when we hope the planets will align, people will arrive on time, the street will have no cars on it and security will not call the police. For that will be Rocketcar day 666 – the most evil race on the planet.

When I heard about the US Vice-President shooting a 78 year old man in the face because he thought he was a small bird, I knew I had to see what The Daily Show with Jon Stewart had to say. Here's a link to a streaming flash video clip on bradblog.com.
The hunting trip was the kind where you drive up to an enclosure of cage-raised flightless little birds and shoot them from a metre away.

The Crystal Car Wash (02 9412 1699) two metres away from my window woke me at 5am, and now at 10:15pm they are still running their bandsaw and drills. I don't know what woodwork has to do with washing cars, but they're very keen on it. They're using some nasty smelling stuff on the wood that makes me dizzy. Hopefully they'll finished before midnight, and won't restart tomorrow with more noise. I know better than to hope they stop playing "Its A Hard Knock Life" over and over on their sound system.
I'd really like to know why councils all over Sydney have allowed them to build these loud industrial sites that run more than 12 hours a day, 7 days per week, between houses and flats. I've seen others and they're also in residential zones. There seems to be no limits on what they do, or when they do it. They never rest, I guess they're not unionised.
They must use megalitres of water every week - all day, every day.
Chatswood, Lane Cove, Mosman, Bondi, Kingsford, and more; the commercial car washes are doing very well out of selling car owners the right to bypass the water restriction laws. Residents aren't allowed to waste water on their cars, but businesses have a license to sell the right to waste water on cars, while disrupting residential areas more than dirty cars ever would. Water restrictions mean nothing if they encourage a trade of water wasting rights. Can't do what you like with water? Buy the right from a business! Does the business make more water? No. Any other laws that the government wants to sell the right to violate? And more water is wasted, because its now a revenue generator.
In a drought-ridden State, what self-respecting patriot has a clean car? Commercial Car Washes are water pollution factories that dump phosphates in the river system as they empty our drinking water supply, just so you can feel your car looks pretty.
Show you are community minded and let your car stay dirty. It doesn't harm the car. Wash it yourself, over a lawn, in the evening, when its legal. A pretty car means you're UnAustralian. Think about the children!
