Guys, believe it or not Alabama honestly really is full of backwards bible thumping simpletons. Been here for decades, surrounded by idiots. The ONLY way to get elected in this state is to pander to the Jesus Freak crowd because they make up such a MASSIVE percentage of the population in this state.

Boy, if'n you aint believin' ev'ry word of tha bible true, maybe you need ta git yerself on outta muh state and hightail it back to FRANCE!

So people who believe in the "theory" of gravity need a counterpoint that mocks them, because a non-believer in the "theory" of gravity would be mocked?

Sounds good.... if you're an ignoramus.
GRAVITY IS JUST A THEORY.

In reality, it's the FSM noodley appendages that hold each and every one of us down.

Actually one poster more wide and creative than I quipped that the Theory of Gravity was being superseded by the Theory of Intelligent Falling.

Riley has done a lot of good for Alabama, so it is no surprise a Republican is at the forefront of the governor's race this year.. The two Democrats running are weak, and do not stand a chance. The race is between two Republicans, the guy in the video (Byrne) and Bentley. Bentley is lagging in the polls, which is probably why this ad was created..

Interestingly, if a Republican wins Alabama's race for governor, it will be the first time in Alabama history that two Republicans have served as governor back to back.

Shame on them. Most Alabamians are NOT this backward. The ad folks should have just stuck to taxation issues

-The tail bone could very well have been a tail at one time. How long it would have developed or grown is unclear. As humans began to travel and use two feet, a tail would have became useless and shrunk over time -
Off topic a bit but the tail evolution reference jogged something-

The domestication of dogs is believed to have had a major influence on the evolution of the human face-once we used them for hunting partners, we didn't need to smell as well so our nose and face flattened as it became less developed- thank Fido or Rover next time you see him for your pretty human face-the dog also chose us, not the other way round-
I read a theory once that blamed mankind's hatred through the years for wolves on the fact that they are ancestors of those canines that were the ones who chose not to come to our fire way back then to become domesticated like the dog's canine ancestors did-

If there were a reality show... "Who is the craziest of all?" AL, AZ, SC and TX would make for formidable competitors.
