Creation Museum Irony

My Top 3

Scalzi wasn’t the only one to visit the Creation Museum! Scientist Tom Robey paid a visit, and found a 500 million year-old fossil in the nearby Wal-Mart parking lot.

I hedged my bets that I could find something good if I sought out that beacon of American consumption. I was hoping for something like I bought as a 10 year old from the Field Museum of Natural History. I wasn’t disappointed with the 45 minutes I spent scrambling over clay-slickened rocks behind the bargain center’s loading dock…In under an hour, I had unearthed ample evidence of life extinct for more than 500 million years

And I didn’t know this. The Creation Museum is built atop one of the richest fossil beds in the world. Imagine that!
