If Intelligent Design is True, the Designer Is a Sick Bastard

[lwood]

dr_beowulf, in his Biology for Non-Majors class at the school where he professes, likes to point out that if Intelligent Design is factual...then here are a lot of empirical examples demonstrating that the Intelligent Designer is one sick, twisted puppy.

Here's another one for that Hall of Infamy--the rhizocephalan, brought to you courtesy of lolscience and evergrey. I'm going to give the summary quote behind a cut, because...it's icky.

(Many of you just believed me--some deliberately did not click because if Lorrie said EW it must really be EW, and some of you just clicked 'cos if Lorrie said EW it must really be EW, but in a fascinating sort of way. So:)

Imagine you have a rugby ball filled with eggs attached to the interior of your vagina or penis all the time. You can't have sex ever again, because your reproductive system has been hijacked and you have to walk around with this weird enormous growth everywhere you go. That is a rhizocephalan.

But, honestly, it just puts me to mind of Depeche Mode.

Strangely - this isn't that Eww for me - it just lets me know that the world is that much more strange (and disturbing) then we give it credit for.

I was actually fascinated, but there is a certain demographic of my flist who, disclaimer or no, will ew, but now they can't say that I didn't warn 'em.

Also, I friended lolscience, for the very best in intellectual anti-intellectualism. 8-)
