The Creation Museum is becoming my guilty pleasure. It's like a big pile of nuttiness and the more I find out about it, the more ridiculous it turns out to be. Check out this sign from one of the displays.
If God says it's OK, you can marry your sister. I'm not really sure what this has to do with creationism, but there ya go. It made me think of this bit from Inherit the Wind:
Drummond: Now listen to this. This is Genesis 4 to 16: "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife." Now where the hell did she come from?
Brady: Who?
Drummond: Mrs. Cain. Cain's wife. If, in the beginning, there were just Cain and Abel, and Adam and Even, where did this extra woman come from? Did you ever stop to think about that?
The answer, of course, was no. It's nice that the Creation Museum is willing to exhibit displays that raise more questions than they 'answer.' (Defcon Blog)

"Texas cops taser diabetic seizure man." His girlfriend calls 911, the cops show up, kick in the door, and zap him with a taser. Needless to say, it didn't help his condition any. (The Register)
-Nifty-
Google has committed itself to clean energy and has 'launched the largest solar panel installation to date on a corporate campus in the United States.' When finished, the project will include 9,212 panels on eight buildings and two carports. At 90% complete, Google reports that its panels have generated 9,894 kilowatt-hours in the past 24 hours and 25,324 kilowatt-hours in the past week. The page updates automatically, so don't be surprised if you follow the link and all the numbers have changed. It's nice to see this whole internet machine going green.
Google, good for more than just finding porn. (Google)
