God Said to Noah,

"Build an Ark 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high."

To assist Noah in building an Ark, God gave Noah a measuring stick that was 1 cubit long and was marked in tenths of a cubit.  The stick was made of a heavenly material that did not expand or contract in length, whatever the temperature.  So, thank God, no matter how hot the climate got, a cubit was still a cubit.  Together with his friend, Nassau, Noah began drawing the plans for an Ark.  They decided the timbers for the Ark must be cut to an accuracy of one-hundredth of a cubit.

With the plans for the Ark all drawn out and every cut of every timber specified to one-hundredth of a cubit, Noah took the plans and the measuring stick to the master builder, Carson.  Carson looked at the plans and looked at the measuring stick.

Carson said to Noah, "I'll be honest and tell you I can't build this Ark.  You've given me specifications to cut every timber to an accuracy of plus or minus one-hundredth of a cubit, yet you've given me a measuring stick with an accuracy of plus or minus one-tenth of a cubit."

Noah responded,  "There is another master builder.  If you won't build the Ark, I'll ask Trump."

Trump agreed to build the Ark.  "It will be the greatest Ark ever and I'll get the Mexicans to pay for it.  It will be huuuge!", Trump said.  So, together with two Corinthians, Trump began building.

Every cut of every timber started an argument.  The two Corinthians and Trump would argue over what was 10 and five-hundredths cubits and what was 10 and six-hundredths cubits.  The project to build the Ark stalled and the melting polar ice caps didn't. 

The moral of this story is:  Don't pay attention to people who say they can measure things to accuracies finer than the tools they measure with.  Such people are idiots and certainly not scientific.

Dr. Richard Lindzen said, “When someone [NOAA and NASA] points to this [a graph] and says this is the warmest temperature on record [2015]. What are they talking about? It’s just nonsense. This is a very tiny change period. And they are arguing over hundredths of a degree when it is uncertain in tenths of a degree.”

Children of the Corn

In the movie Interstellar, the Earth is an inhospitable place where nothing grows but corn, sort of like Iowa.  Iowa is so boring that getting out in arctic-temperature weather and spending a whole evening talking about politicians and voting is considered fun.  When you can't watch corn grow, you have to do something to pass the time.

It just goes to show what a screwed-up world this is when Iowans are given more influence in choosing a presidential nominee than people who know a God's little acre when they see it, Southerners for example.

Presidential candidates lose their testicles in Iowa faster than Joni Ernst can snip. Even "The Don" got snipped faster than you can say "You're fired!".  They were huuuuge!  So, candidates leave Iowa already having sold the farm (your farm) to the Ethanol Lobby.  What did you get for your farm?  You got the privilege to support the production of worse-than-useless ethanol with your taxpayer dollars.

Corn ethanol cost taxpayers approximately $40 billion in tax credits (subsidies) between 1978 and 2012.  (NASA could put a permanent colony on the moon and begin mining helium 3 for fusion power research with $40 billion.)  Taxpayers spend an additional $10 billion per year in fuel costs because gasoline with 10% ethanol is more expensive and gets poorer gas mileage.  Forty percent of America's corn crop goes toward ethanol production.  That drives up food prices, puts cattle ranchers out of business, and increases the costs of federal nutrition programs.  It also increases the costs of feeding those GITMO detainees, which Obama failed to mention.  (GITMO is such a budget-buster!)  In 2016, Americans will spend an additional $3.5 billion on food because of the mandates Congress enacted for the use of biofuels.

In addition to its costs, gasoline with ethanol pollutes more than gasoline without ethanol.  Making ethanol fuel from corn is also immoral.  About 1 in 9 people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy, active life.  America turning 40% of its corn crop into fuel when there are vast amounts of fuels, provided by God, beneath our feet is inhumane.

The Children of the Corn is a horror movie.  Now, you know why.
