  1. CW: Science teachers from Queensland Open Brethren schools told to teach students about vegetarian dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark.~The Guardian

    This is 3 months old but I missed it.
    “Teachers employed by a large group of Queensland Christian schools were told to teach creationism in science classes, including that vegetarian baby dinosaurs would have been taken aboard Noah’s Ark.”

    Hilarious but also terrifying.

    “The conference featured a presentation by the Answers in Genesis’ director of research, Australian geologist Andrew Snelling.

    “Those present say Snelling told them the radiometric dating techniques used by mainstream scientists to show fossils and rocks are millions of years old were flawed. He said the Himalayas were formed by the “great flood”, and that juvenile vegetarian dinosaurs had been on the ark.

  2. Howard #Dean weighs (another) run for #governor
    The Burlington #Democrat, who led the state for nearly a dozen years, told #VTDigger, “I am considering #running.”

    A #physician by training, Dean was elected to the #Vermont House in 1982 and successfully ran for lieutenant governor in 1986. He took over the state’s top job in August 1991 upon the death of Gov. Dick #Snelling (R) and went on to win five terms.
