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

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:)

( ...that's a rhizocephalan. )

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