Most Religious People Can Not Touch Tom Cruise!

I will now declare that Tom Cruise is the holiest man in North America!

Faith is measured by the improbability of the belief and also by the individual devotion to that improbability. Mike Huckabee for example can be said to have a high level of faith because he believes that dinosaurs are imaginary and that someone is going to fly down from space and save him from having to run for a second term. As good as that is Huckabee looses points because his beliefs actually pay his bills and get him votes.

Tom Cruise on the other hand believes that the frozen souls of poorly behaved space aliens infect the bodies of humans due to some strange intergalactic war (or something). He not only believes this stuff but he ends up paying millions of his own money for the privilege.

Which Came First, The Cavendish or the Man Who Made It?

I recently watched this classic YouTube gem for the first time last night:

If you haven't seen it before you might have to watch it a couple time to get the joke. Of course the joke is that these guys are being serious. Well serious in the same way that a used car sales man is when he tells you "This is the best deal in town". They're not specifically lying but they are providing somewhat misleading data to get you to arrive at their preferred conclusion.

One of my favorite things about the video is Cameron's reactions to the data his friend is giving . It's classic douche bag. The whole thing reeks of a sales pitch. Reminds me of an infomercial.
