While the second link goes to a story that says it's from Woody Allen, I distinctly remember reading it some years back - in a book of short stories by S. J. Perelman named 'The Last Laugh'. I must tsk at the person whose site it is. *tsk tsk* There, done.

So what do you want me to say? I've been involved in working against idiocy in the scientific classroom for years. Honestly how people can listed to crap such as "Tthe Intelligent Design Theory" as SCIENTIFICIALLY VIABLE is beyond me (since it isn't scientific, it isn't qunatative, it isn't supportable, hence it isn't even a THEORY!). It merely enforces my opinion that lots of people, and specifically the majority of Americans are either A) poorly educated B) ignorant and happy to stay that way C) stupid D) All of the Above. I'm very close to opting for D...
