Adam and Eve Are Just Friends
As God rested, the let’s-just-be-friends zone was created on the 7th day…

Homeopathy in Comic Strip Form
This explains homeopathy beautifully:
It’s still funnier than Garfield.

An Argument in Defense of the Serial Comma
A serial comma is the comma you use before the last item in a series of three or more things.
With the serial comma:
I went to the store to buy oatmeal, milk, and cookies.
Without the serial comma:
I went to the store to buy oatmeal, milk and cookies.
There are arguments to be made for and against it.
Why do I bring this up?
There’s an article by Jay Lindsay of the Associated Press called “Evangelists target spiritually cold New England” making the rounds. There’s nothing overly special about the piece — the headline summarizes it well enough.
But reader Jon brings it to my attention because of the comma issue.
Here’s a direct quotation from the piece. The lack of a serial comma gives it an entirely different (and very entertaining) meaning:
They say a reason for the region’s hollowed-out faith is a pervasive theology that departs from traditional Biblical interpretation on issues such as the divinity of Jesus, the exclusivity of Christianity as a path to salvation and homosexuality.
I’m pretty sure there are other paths to homosexuality besides Christianity.
Nice catch

I Want Baby Ruths for Halloween
(Or is is Babies Ruth?)
Funny. I think this applies to atheists as well as witches…
I prefer the King Size babies.

A Spaghetti Recipe with a Secret Ingredient
No wonder my spaghetti never comes out right. I never dry the children before adding them to the meal!
We now have Holy Communion for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The Wrong Religion Entrance
This Non Sequitur strip by Wiley Miller tells the truth:
Well, it mostly tells the truth. We’re all going to end up in the same place when we die… but it won’t be Heaven.
Though I do enjoy this person’s comment:
No one has mentioned that the “wrong religion” entrance has a much shorter line and therefore is a quicker way into heaven. That’s the larger message I’m taking away from this wonderful cartoon.

Friday Humor: Buddha’s Apartment
This post is by Jesse Galef

Last Friday HERDdad asked for a regular Friday Funny featuring an amusing skeptic or atheist video. I can forsee a lot of Lewis Black, but might need suggestions from all of you to find more.
That said, I’ve been watching all of the SMBC Theater shorts on youtube. Remember the hilarious “Just a Theory” video Hemant posted earlier this month? Same guys, same level of irreverence.
Enjoy, and let me know about other places I should look for funny videos!
By the way, this is slightly unsafe for work. The cursing is censored, but anytime a video has “I’m Buddha mother fu**er!” I figure I should warn you.

If You Don’t Have a Costume Yet…
Reader Stu would just like to remind everyone who doesn’t have a Halloween costume yet that if you can provide your own beard and robe, you can totally go as Jesus riding a dinosaur:
I wonder if they have adult versions of that…
In any case, it would make Ken Ham and other Creationists very proud.
You have to get inspiration from somewhere:
