I’m serious. You can’t see this post until you put down your coffee and make sure your airways are clear. Then you can click on the heading and laugh, and cry, and everything…

This is a repost of an item from my old blog.

OK, I think this is fake, it can’t be real. This was spotted on Pharyngula, and PZ Myers is a smart guy, but maybe this time he was fooled.

I’m talking about the “Twin Citeis Creation Science Association 2007 Home School Science Fair” planned for February 17th and 18th.

Here is the link if you want to see their site.

The following are my favorites form a list of 114 suggested science fair projects for the kiddies. As you read through this you may want to keep certain things in mind. For each idea, imagine what experiment the child is meant to do. For instance, to answer the question “How much electricity does it take to kill a person” … one can only imagine (to be fair, that item on this list suggests doing the experiment on a plant). It is also interesting to see how many experiments are meant to test God’s Intentions (or in once case, “what is god made of?”). Is that OK to do?
