I’ve had a busy day. On Tuesday my friends reminded me I had an essay due In December, so I thought I might as well start it. The word limit’s 2k, and, after getting 400 of them down yesterday, I have 1787 words. The remaining 200 I’ll get down later or, more likely, tomorrow morning.

I was in the library after lunch. I needed material to quote from. I noticed the row of PHD thesis they keep there, and decided to ask to see one. This was not a random whim – I wanted to see how easy it was to look at a PHD thesis: there has been some debate over the thesis of Kent Hovind – an extremely vocal creationist. He has proclaimed himself doctor, but when one fellow investigated, this thesis was very hard to get hold of. link.

Anyway, without hesitating, the librarian got a leather-bound thesis off the shelf. It had a slip saying it wasn’t to be taken from the library, but otherwise it war free to peruse. What is ‘Dr. Dino’ hiding.
