• Chez Watt ballot for December 2022

    From Mark Isaak@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 1 12:59:38 2023
    Here is the Chez Watt ballot for December. Vote!
    Happy New Year! Let us celebrate by reviewing some parts of the last
    year that are perhaps best left behind.

    ================
    In the category of Complexities of time travel:

    This is sufficiently non-sectarian to not violate the clause of
    the first Amendment to the US Constitution about established
    religion. The Declaration of Independence would not exist,
    were this not so.


    ================
    In the category of: "quote", he said disapprovingly.

    I reserve my disapproval for those believe they have an excuse to
    misunderstand the obvious.


    ================
    chez watt nomination under the category:
    1: They broke the chalice from the palace?
    2: And replaced it with a flagon.

    Martin is deliberately ignoring the post where I canceled the post to
    which he
    is replying, and which contains a correction to what I posted next:


    ================
    Perhaps Ediacarian?
    There
    is no
    definitive evidence of eye evolution and no complex animals with
    mouths, guts
    or
    an anus in animals during the epicurian: eyes simply appeared
    abruptly during
    the early Cambrian.

    Eat, drink, and be merry without a mouth, gut, or anus for tomorrow we go extinct?


    ================
    Category: Presumption of facts not in evidence

    No creationist would use "not fully formed" without reference to
    a specific goal, and neither would a ***competent ID theorist***.

    [emphasis added]

    I cast my vote for the following one while mumbling disparaging sleights
    about the other choices. And regarding any streaks that may be broken:

    This one please, which would have been a contender in the golden days of
    CW too
