Jake Bouma<\/a> just reminded me about these statistics from a few years ago. We must have been trying real hard to achieve last-place status. But presumably Harun Yahya has been doing his work more effectively than even Ken Ham. I wonder whether Expelled will help us achieve that much-coveted last place status.<\/div>\n

I can\u2019t help but think of the Friends episode where Chandler comforts Monica by telling her that she gives the \u201cbest bad massages\u201d\u2026<\/div>\n
