Someone in the lunch room at my office today said, in what appeared to be perfect seriousness, "Evolution can't be true. If evolution were true, then why are there still monkeys?". And then, to my horror, everyone else sitting at the table agreed that that was a good point.

They noticed me staring. It would have been hard not to. They looked over. I said, "It's true, then, what they say about science education in Kansas being sorely lacking."

And then I went on with my lunch and my book, which, scoring a point for irony, is about dinosaurs pretending to be human in modern-day New York.

Wow. Thanks, lulumai!

I'd say I can only be funny when something horrible's going on, but these days, something horrible's mostly always going on, so the material is appallingly easy to come by.
