Santa and His Cryptids

Posted on December 24, 2008 by Lisa A. Shiel

onight children will try to stay awake until Santa arrives at their homes. They hope to glimpse that jolly elf and, perhaps, some of his reindeer. His flying reindeer.
Christmas cryptids!
Since no known species of reindeer can fly, we must assume Santa has conscripted eight cryptids—cryptozoological creatures—to assist him in his gift deliveries. Then, of [...]

Happy Friday the 13th!

Posted on June 13, 2008 by Lisa A. Shiel

Yes, you read that right. It’s no typo either. I wished everyone a happy Friday the 13th. And why not? People born on Friday the 13th—including Margaret Thatcher—probably have no qualms about calling the day a happy one.

    • Should We Revere Nature, or Evolution? November 11, 2009
      Which should we revere, nature or evolution? Is there a difference? Yes, in fact there is.

    • Descent into Chaos November 4, 2009
      The favorite definition for evolution is descent with modification, a fancy way of saying changes inherited from our ancestors. If a change doesn’t get passed down to future generations then it can have no effect on the species.

    • New Primate Not Human Ancestor After All November 2, 2009
      Earlier this year scientists announced the discovery of a new primate fossil they called Darwinius masillae and nicknamed Ida. A special on the History Channel and the book, both called The Link, touted Ida as the missing link between apes and humans. The scientists who discovered the fossil were more circumspect, saying Ida might belong [...]
