The Blogmanac: "On This Day" ... and much more
Think universally. Act terrestrially.
For in a hard-working society, it is rare and even subversive to celebrate too much, to revel and keep on reveling: to stop whatever you're doing and rave, pray, throw things, go into trances, jump over bonfires, drape yourself in flowers, stay up all night, and scoop the froth from the sea.

Wilson's Almanacquote for 4/11/2025 I like life. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. (Agatha Christie)
Pharyngula, always worth a read, has posted an article, 'The proper reverence due those who have gone before'. It stimulates the grey matter, on the subject of Biblical creationism and science, by comparing the part of history covered by the Bible, with the eons of our species' existence. I found it at The Panda's Thumb.
While we're at it, here's a page on Project Steve, named for the late American palaeontologist Stephen Jay Gould. Project Steve is a humourous-but-serious campaign for intellectual freedom, again taking a swipe at Creationism.
And on a similar subject, from Evolving Thoughts, 'Hobbit Not a Pinhead', another one I found at The Panda's Thumb.
