Happy Halloween!!!
I do love this holiday, although I haven’t had sufficient time to plan for it this year. Boo!
What is my favorite part of this Pagan day? The candy? The costumes? Nay, say I… the scary stories!!!
And, what is more frightening than the usual creatures of the night? You might think it would be whatever is attacking and killing the most well known night-romping creature, the bat. That’s right, brown bats and others in New England are succumbing during their winter hibernation to an unknown cause. The only clue scientists have so far as to the cause of death for the little flying mammals is the white fuzz that grows on the noses of the bats; a strange fungus of the species Geomyces. Unfortunately, colonies that are afflicted with the fungus lose a large portion of their populations during the hibernation period.
The only thing that to me is even scarier than things that kill scary things are people who promote irrational thinking. I’d like to thank Kent Archie, Nerd for hire, for sending me a truly terrifying website reminder of with what science must contend. Sauropods in Africa. I haven’t stopped screaming yet from the shock.

I posted this comment on the creationist website. We’ll see if they publish it.
“Where is the photo and video evidence? Where are the tissue and dung samples? Where’s the DNA?
Witness testimony is worthless on its own. Stating something does not make it true.
If these organisms exist and are as this article describes, the above forms of evidence should not be difficult to obtain. Until then, it’s practically make-believe.”
OMG – that article is so laughable:
“While near Lake Tele he saw a long, thin neck come up out of the water, like that of a dinosaur. Rory imediately took two photographs and quickly got in his canoe”
it then quickly switches to all the proof they have:
“Over the last 100 years, evidence has accumulated that sauropod dinosaurs may still be roaming the vast, unexplored regions of the African swamp and jungle.”
Quick put this in the creationist museum!!
