Humor: Now you can easily generate your own demotivational poster using this slick [2] little utility.
Books: Christianity Today has an article [3] discussing N. D. Wilson’s new book for young readers (N.D. being the son of Douglas Wilson).
Books: And speaking of books, Tuesday is review day at Discerning Reader [4] so check in for the reviews that were posted yesterday.
Humor: The latest edition of The Sacred Sandwich is now available [5]. Be sure to check out the updated Gallery of Dubious Photojournalism.
Church: There are so many things wrong with this [6] story that it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s the story of an Anglican priest who claims to be both Christian and Muslim.
Books: According to Ray [7], 58% of Americans do not read a single book after finishing high school.
Weird: No matter how you slice and dice it, this [8] looks like a really bad job! “The European Space Agency (ESA) on Tuesday called for applications for one of the most demanding human experiments in space history: a simulated trip to Mars in which six ‘astronauts’ will spend 17 months in an isolation tank on Earth.”
