Stuff for later reading

What the latest film on Pompeii gets wrong.

No I haven't seen the film (it hasn't come here yet, and with Mt Pinatubo, Mayon Volcano etc. within spitting range of Manila, who needs fiction?)

Hieropraxis has a series on the evolution debate: She points out the nuances, and that often the creationist stuff is a strawman debate by materialists who demand limited evidence.

Drudge reports another shooting by a paranoid schizophrenic whose parents warned the police.
