Also,
EL61 has a second moon.
Also,
Despite US Supreme Court ruling, Virginia keeps anti-"sodomy" laws on the books so they can arrest gays for hitting on cops, and take their children away because they're "engaging in criminal activity", even if the State can't convict them under the law any more.
Also,
A letter from Richard Dawkins to his daughter, explaining that tradition is not the same as correctness.

Dec. 2nd, 2005 02:24 pm"Science makes sex obsolete"
Also,
Searching for "Intelligent Design" in nature, and why the IDiots aren't finding any.
Also,
"Men who follow Jesus Christ the dragon-slayer, must themselves become lesser dragon-slayers. And this is why it is absolutely essential for boys to play with wooden swords and plastic guns," - coming from the loony wife of a loony facing charges of assault for taking his two young sons out to shoot trick-or-treating children with paintball and BB guns in Cape Town suburbs on Halloween. He did this because it's an "un-Christian" holiday, and "What Would Jesus Do?" apparently tells him to shoot trick or treaters in the face from point-blank range with paintball guns.
Other choice comments:
"To beat your swords into ploughs prematurely, before the war is over, will leave you ploughing for those who kept their swords."
and
"The Christian faith is in no way pacifistic"

Diebold refuses to sell voting machines in North Carolina after a judge refuses to issue an order stating that any fraud isn't their fault./a>

And, of course, the first thing *I* think of when I see llamas is, of course, Doctor Who, and so we have The Dalek Song.
Of course, Daleks immediately make me think about dead whales, and what to do if you got a half-ton of dynamite and a dead whale at the same time and no idea what to do with either.
On the topic of free use of dynamite, we have an article on how one "more guns, less crime" pundit faked his results, and fixing the fake reverses the trend, then lied about it. Links from that article will take you many places. This is a favourite, about the original fraud itself.
