It’s a happy day here at Skeptical Humanities. You see, my cat Jesse has received his doctorate from the prestigious Thunderwood College.
Jesse’s qualifications were so impressive that Thunderwood gave him the degree without even requesting that he write a dissertation. Jesse, being a conscientious cat, decided to produce one anyway:

Ceiling Cat. Personal interview.
Then he got tired and decided to take a nap in a box that is too small for him.
I’m sure he’ll get around to the rest of it eventually.

[…] just in… Another incredulous post regarding the animal intelligentsia. For apparently Mr. Whitey-Cat is now of all things… Dr. […]
I read Hovind’s “Dissertation” and to use a current cliche expression “the stupid, it burns!”
“Dr.” Hovind managed to have the flood c. 2400 B.C.E., seeming to forget when the pyramids were built c. 2600 B.C.E., among many other problems. Of course evolution was a Satanic lie inspired by Satan himself in the garden of Eden!? He also “forgets” that their is no evidence for a world wide flood c. 2400 B.C.E. I guess Satan removed the evidence.
Even a diploma mill giving a diploma for this sort of crap is too much.
The evidence of the flood is the Grand Canyon, duh. I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest, and I can assure you that 40 days of rain consistently creates mile-deep chasms.
In all seriousness, I’m still trying to figure out what is more ridiculous: the fringe (even by creationist standards) claim that water erupting from the oceans during the flood caused the craters on the moon or that Noah decided to take a world-cruise afterwards and drop off the koalas in Australia, the tapirs in Brazil, and the penguins in Antarctica just for the hell of it.
It’s stunning, but his dissertation really starts, “Hello, my name is Kent Hovand.” It’s…a staggering farce.

You know, the weird thing is that my dissertation also begins, “Hello, my name is Kent Hovind.” I don’t know what I was thinking.
[…] hai. I iz Jesse, also known as Dr. Whitey-Cat, a very educated cat and new contributor to this thingy. Not only does I haz doctorate, I iz expert […]
All around incredibly written post.
