According to reports, health inspectors today shut down the restaurant at an unspecified creation museum. The creationism-themed restaurant had previously been given a warning when the restaurant’s “Crocoduck Burgers” were tested and found not to contain meat from any known animal.
Today’s closure drew attention to the restaurant’s practice of serving foods on which e. coli bacteria had been not merely allowed but caused to grow to dangerous levels. The restaurant’s manager, who may face criminal charges, said that this practice was aimed at increasing popular awareness of the e. coli’s irreducibly complex flagella, one of the marvels of intelligent design.
The museum’s chief director, however, opined that the restaurant’s closure might be for the best. “I have long been concerned that some visitors to the museum might mistakenly interpret their vomiting and diarrhea as a reaction to the exhibits, rather than the restaurant,” he said.
