Found this link on FriendlyAtheist.com by Hemant Mehta, How to Ruin a Trip to the Museum where Biblically Correct Museum Tours have their own view of things. Interesting things pop up like:
• Adam and Eve walked with dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden
• Tyrannosaurus Rex ate vegetables until evicted from the Garden of Eden (what, no coconuts?)
• Fossil exhibits are artwork, not science
• Evolution is a religion or philosophy
• Determining the age of fossils by measuring the age of the sandstone they are in is considered circular reasoning
• Ignore the exhibit on radiometric dating claiming “We can’t cover everything!”
Queried about the lack of dinosaur and human fossils being found together (which would prove the whole Garden of Eden issue) the comment is “Well, there are some problems for Creationalists…”
I’ve been keeping an eye on TwitchFilm which IMHO has the best coverage of films outside the US you can get to keep up to date with the new film with Jet Li and Jackie Chan called “The Forbidden Kingdom”. Hopefully it’ll work out OK but the made-for-US story elements usually bode badly but I’ll give it a chance. TwitchFilm has got a behind the scenes video of the film, so looks good so far. See it here.

Some games just don’t get old no matter when they were released. Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle are one of these rare games from 1986 and 1987 for the Mac that really defined the platform action game for a lot of Mac users back in the day. These days, most people don’t have hardware capable of playing it, so there’s Mini vMac by Paul Pratt (based off vMac by other smart guys) to emulate the Mac Plus so you can play it again in all the B&W glory.
Not content on just beating the game, some people have taken it to the next level by doing speed runs, limited rock, limited elixir and no Shield runs through the game, so there’s people like Richard no Yuuutsu, MacMannz and Phantom Peasant showing everyone how it’s done. The forum can be found here as everyone’s keyed up for the next installment, Return to Dark Castle which looks close to a release this year.
For all those people who like to spend heaps of money on OFC cable from Monster, think again.
