You were warned.
Welcome to Olduvai George!
Via Pharyngula.

Here’s the bait:

“Just imagine it—great pelagic orgies, the males thrusting wantonly with their massive penile arms, promiscuously inseminating any nearby slickly molluscan body. Perhaps they end up sated and exhausted from their frenzied exertions and, oblivious and insensate, drift ashore to die content. Forget March of the Penguins. There’s a great documentary to be made here: Squid Gone Wild. Cephalopod Sex Party. I want to see Michael Medved review it.”

Even if you have figured out who it is go read about him here, now!

Tangled Bank #41 is up.

I thought I’d write at length about the Kansas Board of Education decision to abandon teaching science in public schools

…the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena.

but on something like this PZ Myers is going to be far ahead of the curve:

Rewriting the definition of science seems a rather presumptuous thing for a school board to do, I think, especially when their new definition is something contrary to what working scientists and major scientific organizations say is science. As for removing the limitation to natural phenomena, what do they propose to add? Ghosts, intuition, divine revelation, telepathic communications from Venusians? It’s simply insane.

It is worth noting that:

The standards approved Tuesday are not binding on local school districts, and few have said they plan to revise their lesson plans.

To the extent that there are real science teachers in the schools and educated, thoughtful folks on the local school boards the state board may be simply ignored. On the other hand, the light may be turned out in some classrooms.
Sad.
