Discovery Institute proud, Dog breeders aghast

Seattle, December 26, 2006 (CN) -- As one of many startling products and scientific achievements to recently come out of Seattle's Discovery Institute, DI's president, Bruce Chapman showed off the Creationist group's latest product on the DI's front lawn.


Discovery Institute's man-dog chimera.

"When President Bush warned against the creation of human-animal 'hybrids' in his State of the Union speech early this year, everyone assumed he was actually thinking of 'chimeras.' But in fact, we had asked him not to use that word, because of the research we were doing."

"People, meet Sparky, the first of many intelligently designed companion critters from the Discovery Institute. Sparky and the line of pets he represents are capable of providing companionship and correct, irreducibly complex, thinking to American families. We will be selling this line of creatures for ten thousand dollars each."

Independent tester has doubts

Dr. Charlie Morris, veterinarian for the Federal Canine Association, which independently evaluated Sparky for over a year, expressed some "major caveats."

"Essentially," said Morris, "this creature embodies not the best, but the very worst behavior traits of both Creationists and dogs. As a dog, he is exceptionally disloyal, prone to constant lies, and seems to genuinely enjoy ratting his owners out to Homeland Security. And as a human, Sparky is the only Creationist we know of which chases cats and craps on the neighbor's lawn. He's the only fundy pseudoscientist capable of licking his own anus. Also, he is far worse at mathematics than a typical dog. We rated Sparky and his breed with two paws down."


Biology is just physics that has begun to smell bad.” —HalfMooner
