Not exactly the type of thing I thought I'd be associated with.

Going over my blog stats today I noticed something odd. I wrote a post two years ago about the interesting discovery of a virus that uses another virus as it's host. This actually seems to be the most popular thing I've written on my blog - it has about twice as many views as the next most viewed piece. In the last two days it has had quite a few views, and this is not odd, but I did notice that someone had found it by googling "cwgk.blogspot.com/2008/08". Kinda weird. I was curious what kind of search results that would turn up, so I tried it myself, and I found only four results: three were from my blog (expected) and one more from a forum called RevivalSermons.org.

Ok, so some Bible lover linked to my virus post on a religious forum. That in itself is kinda strange. But not as strange as what I found when I clicked on the link...
"Virus > could viruses and prions be Satan's attempts to create the building blocks of life - unsucessfully [sic] - or just a Satanic weapon ?" 
This was followed by four links to different sites that talked about the virus dead/alive debate, mine being the first. I have no idea how my blog post supports the poster's idea that viruses are some kind of satanic weapon. To be honest, I'm kinda creeped out.

Have ten minutes and too many brain cells?

Let me take care of that for you.



I would write a long, lengthy rebuttal to this video, but honestly, I have no idea what's going on in it. I see some really big numbers that have seemingly been pulled out of the air, repeated references to some sort of "linguistic law" and numerous claims that some "fact" or other has been "confirmed by science" but lacking any reference or sources...but none of it makes any kind of sense. It's sort of like sentences, ripe with nonsense, have been superglued together to make one giant ten minute long absurdity of cycloptian proportions.

Someone hand me the brain bleach.
