Something Funny

Lindy West of The Stranger composed a list of all the different kinds of people there are. It was a little bright spot in my day. You should read it too.  Here is a sample:

People Who Don't Believe in Evolution but Love Antibiotics

Seriously? Either you believe in science or you don't. If you want to say sentences to me like "God made the earth 29 years ago out of Billy Graham's stool" or "Every time you take the morning-after pill, Satan has two orgasms," then go ahead and stay away from Dr. Syringey O'Medicine, MD, from here on out. Because you know that pill that made your strep throat go away? Science invented that. For you. Hey, why don't you just pray for God to take care of that root canal? I'll tell you why: Because God didn't go to dental school, because dental schools don't admit people who DON'T EXIST.

Here is the whole thing. And thank you Lindy West for make my day a little nicer. And thank you for reminding me why I read The Stranger online even though I'm not from Seattle not quite confirming everyone at The Stranger's fears that no one not from Seattle and even some from Seattle only read The Stranger because of Dan Savage which is not true because I'm the negative example and I love your work.
