This "science" is all wrong; this is not an actual metabolic pathway.

Metabolism is only a theory anyway.

The Kansas State School Board is only a theory anyway.

Oh noes!!1 Not more "idiotic nonsensetase"! I had enough of that in my 3 years studying biochemistry back at uni! Entertaining stuff :-)

Politburo Anti-Lysenkoist Diktatase. Gotta sneak that into casual conversation today.

So what this says is once everything is metabolized, it comes out the Kan's Ass.

I've got Visio and a point to prove (or at least, people to make fun of)!! This was not helpful or very funny or very interesting. I can make nonsense diagrams with Visio as well as the next guy (or I could if I had windows, but I think that omnigraffle could serve in a pinch), and this just isn't that funny.

Hold on - an evolution thread that didn't blossom into political flamewars and sophomoric digressions into epistemological skepticism? <avery brooks>Where are the brains in jars? I was promised a brain in a jar!</avery brooks>

zpousman, you have to remember that the author added "-ase" to the end of a lot of things. that makes it funny.

Yeah. I'm a grump, what can I say.

(briefly considers digressing sophomorically into epistemological skepticism) (briefly notices the expression "epistemological skepticism" doesn't really make sense) (abandons the idea as the diagram is not even that funny) (sits and waits for bevets)

Maybe living in such close proximity to the Kansas School Board has significantly and fatally eroded my output of Pedanticase and Grousetose, but I still think it's funny. (However, I do agree that Visio sucks.)

That was fun. I just read some thing by Scott Adams about his travails trying to figure out whether Intelligent Design or "Darwinism" was right. He's a tool, and I now feel even more smug about my previously held opinion that that guy has never done anything that couldn't be done better by a large roach. That might make me a less attractive person, but there it is.

.... Visio sucks. Amen. So much potential, and so little action. So many things that Visio ought to be able to do, but can't; and it frustrates me to no end (when I have to use it, which is thankfully seldom) that it remains to locked-in to a print paradigm. As for the merits of the linked graphic -- um, well.... it's just kind of dull, IMHO. No spark to it. Too many repetetive "-ase"s. Now, this [pdf] is funny....

This is good. And made funnier by the fact that most ID proponents wouldn't get the joke. Heh.

Ha! Yes it is, lodurr.
