Just some random notes

Americans are enthusiastic about the promise of science but lack basic knowledge of it, with one in four unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun, said a poll out Friday.
The survey included more than 2,200 people in the United States and was conducted by the National Science Foundation.
Ten questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score -- 6.5 correct -- was barely a passing grade.
Just 74 percent of respondents knew that the Earth revolved around the Sun, according to the results released at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting
in Chicago.

"STOP WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE!!!

A couple of years ago an undergrad went to the campus of UCF with a sign that said "STOP WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE!!!" and asked students to sign the petition to end the brutal act. The undergrad stayed there all day long, gathering signatures, the entire time, students going on and on about how much women had suffered and that the suffrage MUST be stopped!! Only ONE student stopped with a stunned look on his face, knowing what this meant...he's a Korean exchange student.

John Kerry Calls Climate Change a 'Weapon of Mass Destruction'

Secretary of State John Kerry today spoke in stark terms about the dangers of climate change and compared those who deny it is happening to people who believe the world is flat.
Calling climate change "catastrophic," Kerry called on Indonesia's leaders to work on cutting greenhouse emissions.
"Climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction," he said.

I have your dog

An anonymous announcement in the New York PETS section of CraigsList shared a tale of redemption about an abused dog that was found in 2011 and has been recovering and thriving since being adopted through a rescue group. (We have messaged the author to ask their name but have not heard back yet.)
Three years ago on Feb 9th, you were evicted from apartment 13B at 20 Catherine Street and your old red pit bull was seized by animal control and taken to the kill shelter. She was really skinny and had bad skin infections, and had been bred A LOT. She'd even had a Caesarian, judging by the scar. They said at the kill shelter she was 12 years old. She also had a lopsided face and it looked like there were a few cigarette burns on her head/ears.
I figure you were having a pretty bad time of it, since you were being evicted. I hope things have gotten better for you in the intervening years. Although it's unlikely you'll ever see this note, I just wanted you to know that I have your dog and she is doing great.

Are you rapture ready?
