In my never-ending quest to provide world-class blogging to my millions of imaginary fans (and the handful of real ones) I've decided to move over to Wordpress. Since I'm in a low post-density mode anyway due to being on vacation I decided I might as well make the move now.
This blog's new address will be https://quarkscrew.wordpress.com at least for now. I'm giving serious consideration to going self-hosted with a proper domain, though; anybody out there made that leap and have advice/warnings/comments?

Taking off
Well, I'm off on me vacation for the next three weeks, so posting will be spotty at best. Here's a barn-burner from Pat Condell to keep you going - unusually good even for him!

Quote Of The Day
"The sermon was based on what he claimed was a well-known fact, that there were no Atheists in foxholes. I asked Jack what he thought of the sermon afterwards, and he said, "There's a Chaplain who never visited the front."

Quote Of The Day
What...can we surmise about the likelihood of someone's being caring and generous, loving and helpful, just from knowing that they are a believer? Virtually nothing, say psychologists, sociologists, and others who have studied that question for decades.

Quote Of The Day
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.

Quote Of The Day
The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window.

Quote Of The Day
To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy.
