A prime example of those that take the bible too literally - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7h08RDYA5E. Apparently we can't possibly be experiencing climate change because god is the only one who can end the world... Actually, the logic on this one is a bit fuzzy for me. Climate change isn't necessarily the end of the world so the argument that god is the only one that can end the world/that he promises in the bible never to do the flood again doesn't really follow. Anyway, its tough to see people so tied to the letter of their faith that they won't listen to scientific studies or consider that science and faith can coexist.
Another interesting one on the subject of evolution - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO9IPoAdct8&feature=response_watch. Apparently everything the three guys say was taken from christian fundamentalist forums. ::Shakes Head::

Green Shrug
My latest finished project in the yarn realm is the "Chunky Alpaca Shrug" from Sensual Crochet by Amy Swenson. I used Baby Alpaca Grande by Plymouth Yarn in (excitingly named) color # 798. The color is a piney green with a little bit of reddish brown mixed in. This crocheted up very quickly because of the open pattern and the fact that its simply a rectangle that you sew partway together for arms. The yarn was great to work with and is really soft. I tried to get a good picture of the shrug, but failed miserably. If I can ever figure out what to wear this with I'll try to get an actual picture of me wearing it. For now, enjoy the below.
There are a number of things in this book that I'd like to try, however, I'm not thrilled with the pattern directions throughout. They are not super intuitive and take a lot of reading and pondering - at least for someone like me who is on the intermediate/beginner borderline. Next project that is likely to be revealed on here will be a shrug in my own pattern. I hope it comes out well!
