Paperjam

If you haven't had the chance to read the marvellous book Lint yet, you really should - a matter I went into in the usual wide-eyed, tangential manner about a year ago.

I heard that there was also a film following the career of legendary sci-fi author Jeff Lint in the offing, but then promptly forgot about it. However it now seems that this project is more or less done. There's a lintthemovie myspace page which says that it is due out in 2009 and has a list of exciting contributors including Alan Moore, Stewart Lee and Mr Solo - who is also represented by a David Devant and His Spirit Wife song lurking on the page.

Check the teaser trailer below, although it probably ain't much fun for epileptics. Also knocking around on-line are bits of The Caterer, Lint's seminal comic featuring a grinning, goat obsessed psychopath.

It is stunningly difficult to get your head round the creationist belief that the earth is actually only about ten thousand years old.

Despite the weight of scientific and cultural evidence lurking about, fundamentalist Christians reckon that the best way to work out the age of the planet (and indeed everything else) is to do a bit of a "Who do you think you are?" style genealogy of all the characters in the bible.

Here is a clip of Bill Hicks explaining why this is such bollocks. The main thrust of his thesis being a lack of discussion about dinosaurs in the bible.

But it now seems that some bright spark at the Creation Museum in Kentucky has had a bit of a think about this and has decided that if the evidence doesn't seem to support their position, then they better damn well present a version of events that does.

Visitors to their marvellous facility will now clearly leave convinced that man and dinosaur must have co-existed, otherwise why would there be an exhibit in a museum of a Triceratops with such a nifty leather saddle?

Seems plausible enough to me.
