Indian Court says Astrology is Science

Link to Live Science article.


The subject of astrology came up at lunch today. One of my co-workers pointed out that anyone who believes in this stuff will be unphased by logical arguments that exaplain how such things are nonsense. Obviously, the man has the power to divine the future.

Sigh.

Last year, my psychic told me this would happen.

He phrased as "You will meet a tall, dark stranger," but I could tell this is what he was talking about.


Good. If it's a science now, we can demonstrate that it's wrong (like Lamarckism was wrong), and they'll have to stop charging people for it as "entertainment."

Next thing you know, we'll need uni degrees just to cut open samnell's intestines and read the future...

Tell him string theory invalidates religion and evolution.

If Samnell doesn't believe in that, will it work? What if he skews the results?

Wait. We can metaphysically opt out of the scientific method?

Yeah, it's the metaphysical property of BS. I learned it back when I studied homeopathic endoscopy back in college. X_X

My body constantly lets me down. Why would it perform for somebody else? I'm sure it would find some way to screw up, just like the last time when some guys from the university came, sliced me open, and fondled thick tubes of Samnell.

I remember it like it was yesterday. All the screams, the tears, blood, vomiting, curses. But what really annoyed me was the guy who doused himself in gas and lit himself on fire. I had a headache for hours and the women's restroom of that Burger King smelled like bacon for weeks after. Always made me want to get the bacon cheeseburger.

Come to think of it, I never did find record of the doctorates they claimed. I'm reasonably sure two of them were Alex Trebek and Jesse Ventura, but the guys in the rubber suits could have been anybody. Still I have some standards. I told them if they really wanted me they had to find a higher class of goat than offered. They substituted kittens, which were sexy and delicious so I decided that was close enough.

They used rubber suits with you? I had to see their faces, and the look of disappointment in their eyes... :(

Not Trebek and Venture. Those guys were all class. Jesse has very soft hands.

I assumed that was because Alex was wearing that tiny little speedo.

All that lotion does help him get in and out of that thing. It is awfully little too. Teehee.

They were so cute together. I bet Ken was jealous.

Haters gonna hate.

Besides, it just hasn't been the same since Trebek shaved it all off. :\

I'd ask "how low can you go", but I'm sure that you would take it as some sort of challenge.


Moff, are you abusing that Summon Monster IX spell again?

I need to be Urizen to be dirty now? It's the new Augustinian-Pelagianism conflict!
