We had a nice day for my dad's birthday in Kenmore. My uncle, his twin and he turned 60 today. Even barsa attended the party.

I saw this on my parents wall in the basement. I made it in first grade, I am so curious what the USA arrow is about. Maybe I had recently seen it on the bridge.

I have to delete some pics on my phone to make way for my dad's birthday party today. These pics are from the last time we were at Nonna's old house. I took them to remember how it was, when she was alive.

I am so curious how they will go about teaching creationism in all those backward schools. Their viewpoint is that evolution is just one theory among many, another being creationism. But will the creationism be taught in reference only to the jewish single man-god thing or will they also have to address other creationist myths. If they have to address multiple creationist myths, then I think teaching creationism could be useful in ending it's own believability.

According to a 2001 Gallup evolution poll on the origins of humans . . . About 45% of Americans assented to the statement that "God created man pretty much in his present form at one time within the last 10,000 years." Quoted from wikipedia article on creationism -

Kids will end up being so confused. Did they all arrive on a turtles back, did jewish man-god thing make them on a whim, are they really advanced monkeys? Maybe once this issue is conquered we can move to even more religious studies within the public school curriculum. I, for one, believe prayer is more reliable than mathematics. I mean the Pythagorean theorem is only one way to get information about a triangle and why should we limit kids to such narrow mindedness, when prayer and devine intervention are also reasonable solutions.

Here are some creationist myths

Here are some others.

Here is just some interesting information I found about Korea along the way.

A friend of our friend Dave lives out near the old train station in a pretty depressed part of town. Two houses burned down behind their house some years back and the turned it into a garden. It is truly amazing.














While I was there I read this story about Nazis and radioactive toothpaste.



It led me to this page about early atomic age radioactive consumer products. All I can say is mega super cancertastic.
