Ursus Pacificus

Sad news from the geeky trenches. Richard “rick752″ Petnel, maintainer of the most popular filter for AdBlockPlus has died at age 56, after a stroke.

Do you know Ray Comfort? Do you know his publicist? Do you know his publicist’s dog groomer?

Somehow, I need you to get word to Ray Comfort that I want to review his book. This one:

You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, But You Can’t Make Him Think: Answers to Questions from Angry Skeptics

There’s no way I can, in good conscience, contribute to the sales figures of this book, but I cannot debate it intelligently without reading it.

If you can get me a promo copy of this book (or have a copy you bought for your own consumption and no longer want) please let me know. I can be emailed at pault@ursuspacificus.net

Boy will I not miss him. Somebody tell Otto I quit.

Anyways, this year’s ThinkGeek offerings are priceless!
