HUMANS DID NOT WALK WITH DINOSAURS
"Why does he [Richard Dawkins] think creationism has had such a revival in the States? 'It is a political question in a way. I think in America there’s a political almost paranoia among these sort of Sarah-Palin-voting rural-small-town population who feel belittled by the urban New York-San Francisco intellectual periphery of the country. They feel like a kind of underdog. It’s the same lobby that feels that everybody has the right to carry a gun'.(...) 'I have American colleagues who have told me that they’ve had students go to the dean and complain that their religion is being insulted by this professor who is teaching about evolution'. He likens teaching science in parts of America to teaching ancient history to a classroom dominated by 'a baying pack of ignoramuses ... who scurry about tirelessly attempting to persuade unfortunate pupils that the Romans never existed'”.

A América que fique pró fofinho presidente Báráque.
E Portugal? Perdeu o título de Mister Gay Europa 2009 para um espanhol. Mais uma vergonhosa derrota lusa. Uma aljubarrotada. Mesmo com a falta de apoios do Estado, sempre fomos muito bons nesta modalidade, melhor que no hóquei em patins. Os jovens têm de espevitar e empenharem-se para o ano, o título, ser orgulhosamente nosso.
Este novo Dawkins terá tradução portuguesa?
Há-de ter quase de certeza.
