Fractal Wrongness : The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
Debating with a person who is fractally wrong leads to infinite regress, as every refutation you make of that person's opinions will lead to a rejoinder, full of half-truths, leaps of logic, and outright lies, that requires just as much refutation to debunk as the first one. It is as impossible to convince a fractally wrong person of anything as it is to walk around the edge of the Mandelbrot set in finite time. If you ever get embroiled in a discussion with a fractally wrong person on the Internet--in mailing lists, newsgroups, or website forums--your best bet is to say your piece once and ignore any replies, thus saving yourself time.

Heh. Good one, Dr. A.

They can't sell fiscal responsibility, they can't sell "values," they can't sell competence, they can't sell small government, they can't even sell the economy. -- Matt Taibbi

For the attention of Taz, er.. sorry, True Believer, who has recently undergone a religious conversion.
From here; http://russellsteapot.com/ I know that these cartoons have already been referenced on this thread, but that one just seemed appropriate.Praise Prometheus! Mutate and Survive

OMG, thanks for that!
Seriously, people, if you want to compare sufferings, Prometheus got your Jesus beat by centuries. After the crucifixion, Jesus went to heaven and has been there ever since with 74 virgins. Prometheus gave up his godhood for us mortals. He got absolutely nothing out of it. Who's the better father figure?

AHAHAHAHAHA... oh that was good. Where did the dawkins rap thing come from? I assume it was recent with all that "expelled" stuff in it.

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude." She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?" "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now it's my fault."

One night some fellows had their dinner,
and a young man, having finished eating, said unto them: 'I ate like a reverend!' but the reverend rebuked the young man, and said unto him: 'do not say that. Instead, say: I ate like a horse' but the young man replied and said to the reverend: 'that wouldn't be fair because a reverend eats for two horses'. *
