] As a Creation Scientist, one of my greatest duties that I
] take great pleasure in is introducing the works of the
] Lord to the young generation. The sparkle of wonderment
] that fills their eyes in knowing the creative power of
] God fills my heart with the Lord's divine Love. It
] however saddens me greatly that the proponents of
] Evolutionism have corrupted this true purpose of science
] and are instead using it as a propaganda tool to spread
] Secularism. But what is education for if not to fight
] against ignorance such as that? Our children are the
] future face of Science and we must teach them to
] recognize the truth of the Word of the Lord so as to
] break the cycle of Evolutionism dogma that is paralyzing
] scientific development and making higher education a
] dumping ground for the excesses of materialistic
] philosophies.

You must scroll down and read the winners. My personal favorite: the 2nd place winner in the middle school division, for using physics to explain why god designed women to be homemakers. Religion just scares the shit out of me sometimes. The sad thing is, even though I put this under humor, its REAL!!!

Includes a cool picture of these genetically engineered fish:) I want some!!

] Tachi's cloak - a shiny raincoat that serves as a movie
] screen, showing imagery from a video camera positioned
] behind the wearer - is more gimmick than practical
] prototype. Nonetheless, from the right angle and under
] controlled circumstances, it does make a sort of ghost of
] the wearer. And, unlike traditional camouflage, it's most
] effective when either the wearer or the background is
] moving (but not both). You don't need a university lab to
] check it out: Stick a webcam on your back and hold your
] laptop in front of you, screen facing out. Your friends
] will see right through you. It's a great party trick.

What a great Halloween costume idea:)

This is just freakin cool. This is the kind of fish that would motivate me to actually use the 20 gallon aquarium that I bought that I never used:)
