Random amusing slashdot discussion:

Slashdot recently ran an article on Semiconducting Nanotubes, and this discussion followed:

This is disgusting! Until it can be proven that carbon atoms are not alive according to God, these evil scientists must be stopped from experiment on them!

To which another slash-dotter (Chris Burke) responded:

You're right, so I asked God. He said no, carbon nanotubes are not living beings in His eyes. Then he said that skin cells were, and I was going to Hell for so brazenly sloughing them off by the thousands right in front of Him. He sounded really angry, and I got really scared, then He told me he was just kidding, cells were part of my body and their deaths were a natural part of my life. Then He said that viruses were not part of my body, and that most of my white blood cells were going to Hell. He vanished before I could ask him if he was joking or not.

God has a weird sense of humor.

So does slashdot.
