Kansas has passed a law outlawing evolution!
Kansas Outlaws Practice Of Evolution
November 28, 2006 | Issue 42-48

TOPEKA, KS

In response to a Nov. 7 referendum, Kansas lawmakers passed emergency legislation outlawing evolution, the highly controversial process responsible for the development and diversity of species and the continued survival of all life.

Lawmakers decried spontaneous genetic mutations.
"From now on, the streets, forests, plains, and rivers of Kansas will be safe from the godless practice of evolution, and species will be able to procreate without deviating from God's intended design," said Bob Bethell, a member of the state House of Representatives. "This is about protecting the integrity of all creation."

The sweeping new law prohibits all living beings within state borders from being born with random genetic mutations that could make them better suited to evade predators, secure a mate, or, adapt to a changing environment. In addition, it bars any sexual reproduction, battles for survival, or instances of pure happenstance that might lead, after several generations, to a more well-adapted species or subspecies.

Violators of the new law may face punishments that include jail time, stiff fines, and rehabilitative education and training to rid organisms suspected of evolutionary tendencies. Repeat offenders could face chemical sterilization.

1. To quote Bill Hicks:
"Ever notice how the people who believe in creationism look really unevolved?"

4. Wife Swap or Trading Spouces... not Trading Spaces.
Although Trading Spaces does have it's own little nutjob, Laurie Smith.

I think I remember some home-improvement show doing that.
