Turkana Boy vs Bishop Boniface

Bishop Boniface Adoyo opines:

"I did not evolve from Turkana Boy or anything like it. These sorts of silly views are killing our faith."

I respond

"Good."

Really, I can't think of a better fate for your silly little faith than for it to die at the hands of a 1.6 million year old child. Grow up and stop believing the fairy tale that god created the earth 12000 years ago. It's plainly not true.

Teddy boy is back, and this time... he's straight!

In today's so-off-the-wall-it's-funny news, Ted Haggard, disgraced jesus-nut pastor of New Life Church in Colorado springs, who you'll remember was caught out fucking a male prostitute on methamphetamine, has returned to the public eye claiming he's now completely closeted straight.

This just really goes to show that religio-nuts are just crazy. They're mentally ill and need help from reputable, rational sources, not some unnamed jesus-freak brainwashing centre in Arizona.

OK, that's enough sympathy for the maniacs. Ted, just give up. Admit that the whole jesus thing is bollocks and move to godless San Francisco, where you'll get all the succulent man-meat you ever wanted, and a near-limitless supply of meth to enjoy it on. And once a year, come to Sydney and participate in Mardi Gras, then afterwards get buggered round the back of the Oxford by leather-clad strangers. You know you want to. Go on... Man Meat... MAN MEAT!!

Oh, and courtesy of The Onion, a glimpse of Ted Haggard's potential future.

Breaking the drought

No, I'm not talking about Morris Iemma's water plan, it's just that it's been a while since my last blog entry, so I figured I'd drop in a quick update on what's been going on.

I've got back to climbing full-bore after an ankle injury and a separate tendon injury gained in December, with a trip to The Balkans (specifically The Frontline) this weekend heralding a return to V4+ bouldering territory, knocking off MIssile Silo, soft V4 (again) and Snakebite, V4 along with a whole swathe of V3s and V2s and a good crank on Berlin Blockade V5, which was too hot and greasy by the time I figured out a sequence. I also knocked off Small Blank Wall V4 at Lindfield second go yesterday, as well as a V4 traverse and a few other problems.

Prior to that, some low-grade (18ish) stuff has gone down at Bardens Lookout and Barrenjoey, among other places.

Training has also ramped up. A tiny about of multigym work and some pull up bar on sunday, bouldering yesterday, rode my bike 18.3kms to work today, averaging over 16kph on the way in (don't know how well I'll go on the way back...), and tonight is a climbing gym session. Strength is on the way!

The coming weekend sees a trip planned to Nowra, my first, which should see some serious action happening, though Viv is feeling a little tweaked in the arms, apparently. I'm off now to do some research into what we're going to get up to.

Oh, and to continue with this blog's emergent meme: Keep out of the pool.
