HOT5 Daily 2/12/2009

1. "Rules for Radicals: UK Edition" A great post on Britain and the Geert Wilders situation.

Representative Sample: what really rankles is the kid gloves with which lunatic Islamists are treated, while radical anti-Muslims like Wilders are denounced as agents of intolerance.

2. "How ’bout that multi-million percentage ROI?" Who knew bailouts were so profitable?

Representative Sample: “TARP,” has been quite a lucrative return on investment for companies getting the taxpayer-funded bailout bucks.

3. "the god gene, redux" Why do people believe in gods?

Representative Sample: Historical evidence tells us that there’s some sort of component in our minds searching for design and purpose in everything

4. "Bunkers"  Interesting photographs of old bunkers in England. 

Representative Sample: Click the picture for more

5. "Why did 'God' only write one book?"  Good question. Maybe he ran out of ideas.

Representative Sample: It is strange that after such a successful product, God has not released the sequel for nearly two thousand years.

  1. #5 is a silly question: The Bible is a collection of many relatively short books and letters. Christians voted on which ones to consider canon and call the collection their Bible. They typically distribute it in a single volume, but that doesn't make it a single book.

    The question should really be why no new books or letters have been accepted as canon since roughly 1800 years ago.

    Good point, but I don't think that post was meant to be too serious.
