inherit the unicorn

One of the more ridiculous things I've discovered today is how behind I am on my creationism current events. Perhaps a trip to the The Creationism Museum, which opened last May in Kentucky, argues that Adam walked with the dinosaurs, and boasts exhibits such as "Six Days of Creation" and "Dinosaurs and Dragons" is in order. Care to join?

Also ridiculous, but in a separate, awesome way, is that a response to aforementioned museum has sprung up. A group (sarcastically) calling themselves the Brotherhood of Fantasy Creatures (BFC for short) has formed, and is calling for artists' design submissions for a billboard advertising The Unicorn Museum, which they actually plan to install next to The Creationism Museum. On their website, the BFC argues that, in addition to the unicorn (which must exist since it is mentioned nine times in the Bible), The Creationism Museum "systematically oppresses belief in other fantasy creatures including Elves, Gnomes, Naiads, and our Brothers Hippogriff." The website also indicates that the museum will have a Basilisk petting zoo.

Unfortunately, The Unicorn Museum is only a joke. Also unfortunately, The Creationism Museum is not.
