Monty Python's philosopher's drinking song



Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel']

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.

Ken Miller on Intelligent Design



This is a very long video (almost 2 hours) but quite worthwhile for anyone interested in understanding why intelligent design creationism is bad science. Especially interesting to me were the bits where Miller discusses evidence against irreducible complexity.

Miller is a Roman Catholic biology professor at Brown University, and he believes that faith and science are compatible. I disagree with him on this one point, but not in a strict sense. Miller's beliefs certainly don't make him any less a scientist.

Get him a body bag, Johnny! Yeah!

Sweep the leg, Johnny.

Relive a bit of 1985, with a twist, brought to you by No More Kings. Coments welcome.

Mr. Deity



Mr. Deity! Should entertain the theist and non-theist alike. As gently irreverent as the Father Ted series. Kept me laughing for about an hour.

6/13/07 Playlist updated. (Corrected play order and removed unwanted videos. How did those get in there?)

6/18/07 Scrapped Grouper and erected UTube over the remains. I like UTube better, and Grouper removed episode ten from my playlist and from their site.
