The Funny Side of Religion

robindch · 2007-04-06 17:09:16

There are not many cartoons around which satirize religious ideas. Jesus and Mo' do their bit for the day that's in it: http://www.jesusandmo.net/2007/04/04/plan/ but are there more than just J+M? Post them if there are!

Rain. fMRIs have imaged synesthesia in action: it's quite real.

Synesthesia afaiu is relative to the person experiencing it. For example, the note G may look green to someone, but red to another person. I think the corresponding scale (colour scale vs tonal scale) is proportionate (ie - the person that sees G as red would see G# as purple for example [bad example maybe] - and the person that sees G as green would see G# as blue-green for example) but there is no set corresponding format. So, Rain may smell like blue for someone, but blue-green for someone else.

Pretty much. I have a couple of friends with mild synesthesia, they both have totally different experiences. One might smell the colour blue, where the other would hear it, if they both see music they'd experience different results.

I imagine the brain re-wiring of synesthesia is fairly random in that sense.

Oh, I knew that Gordon. I just liked having a mundane answer for an intentionally unanswerable question.

"their fellow atheists in education, the media, the golf club, etc"

Pretty nice attempt at rallying the working class Catholics against their aristocratic atheist ruling class.

How come I don't live in a mansion?

Over the last 18 months, Jesus Christ, well-known reformed rabbi, itinerant preacher, major-league miracle-worker, redeemer of mankind, son of the creator of the universe has appeared on a frying pan, a Nintendo and a Walmart receipt.

Last week, no doubt to be closer to his mum, currently resident in a Limerick treestump, he appeared on the cliffs of Moher:

Looks more like a monkey to me. Which adds credence to my theory of Reverse Evolution. You see, in heaven, evolution works in reverse. This is due to the power of positive thinking, whereby creationists are constantly sending prayers skywards against evolution.
