Mainly I'm telling you this because it permits me to use the word "viscosity" and I never get to do that.
Creationist bollocks
So somebody tell me how the creationist mafia is managing to skew Google’s video search results? It seems like whatever you search for on video.google the results are at least 60% creationist films. Weird.
