RIP Dave Cockrum

Legendary comic artist Dave Cockrum passed away earlier today.

He's best known for having a major part to play in creating the X-Men so well known and loved today. To me, he's responsible for making Storm, Phoenix and Ms Marvel characters who will live in my imagination forever...

...and, to be quite honest, he indirectly played a key role in bringing The Darkhawk Diaries into being. Thank you, Mr Cockrum - "F vs D" will be dedicated to your memory, and your legacy.

Written before I heard the above news...

In Today's Episode... Are XSI on the verge of breaking the Mireet mystery wide open? Tune in to The Darkhawk Diaries to find out!

Sports News... This just in - Redskins 17, Panthers 13 - We can't beat the lost causes, but now we come good against a potential playoff contender! Another five of those, and The 'Skins may just stand a chance of reaching the playoffs, and this win certainly helps our cause a lot.

Say NO to The "Jane Longhurst" Law!

Just The Facts, Sir...

Oh wonderful - here we go again...

- Evolution is NOTHING to do with explaining the existence of the universe, stupid. It's the process by which living species develop in response to their environments, and it doesn't affect stars or planets, and despite what the advertisers say, cars and computers do not "evolve" either. Evolution stopped being a "convenient excuse" the moment it was observed in the wild... and oddly enough, that's where it all started. It kinda falls into the category of "observed fact" now, unlike religion...

- DNA did not come into being "by accident", nor is its structure evidence of a "creator". The structure of DNA is the result of the way matter interacts on the atomic, and sub-atomic, levels - carbon naturally forms long chains, and each carbon atom has a configuration of electrons that causes it to form four chemical bonds - hence the regular physical structure of things like graphite or diamond.

The last thing this world needs is to start confusing science and religion. Does anyone honestly think we'll solve the world's problems with prayer? Go on then - get all your "God squad" mates together, and beg "him" for a solution to global warming...

Your excuse for failure will most likely be "it's all according to God's plan" - but what good is it going to do God to make his followers extinct...?

I choose not to let such quitters decide the future of the planet, and humanity.
