Spelling bees are typically dreary affairs, but every now and then they provide some comic relief. Here’s one such example from this year’s National Spelling Bee winner.
The Earth Times reports that "German soldiers are overweight, smoke too much and do not engage in enough sports, according to a report published Tuesday by the parliamentary commissioner for the defence force." Given what happened the last time German soldiers were fit, perhaps their current flabbiness is a good thing.
According to this report, an Israeli researcher named Benny Shanon argues that Moses was high on drugs on Mt. Sinai. Right! How many potheads do you know who are sticklers about rules, let alone 10 Commandments?
My buddy Steve Lake links to these satirical "motivational posters for the emerging church." Whatever you think of the emerging church movement, these posters are pretty funny. Here are my favorites:
From Spiegel Online International:
The poor old Scandinavian moose is now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year — equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.
Norway is concerned that its national animal, the moose, is harming the climate by emitting an estimated 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year through its belching and farting.
Norwegian newspapers, citing research from Norway’s technical university, said a motorist would have to drive 13,000 kilometers in a car to emit as much CO2 as a moose does in a year.
Bacteria in a moose’s stomach create methane gas which is considered even more destructive to the environment than carbon dioxide gas. Cows pose the same problem
Norway has some 120,000 moose but an estimated 35,000 are expected to be killed in this year’s moose hunting season, which starts on September 25, Norwegian newspaper VG reported.
As James Taranto put it in Best of the Web Today: "So not only man but animals cause global warming. Apparently the only way to preserve life on earth is to wipe out life on earth."
As you know, I recently completed a Daily Word series on Revelation. Here’s one of the replies I received from an unknown correspondent:
Click on the cartoon for a disturbing article.
For use of the words hell 6x), abortion (2x), and sex (1x).
Given how much I’ve blogged about Revelation, with all its violence, destruction, and talk about the Antichrist and the Prostitute, I thought I’d get at least an R rating. But, hey, I’m glad this is still a family friendly site–at least if your family is over 13.

I thought I’d be John Wesley, but whatever…
