Talk bad about Rocky Top if you want, but you cannot deny that it lends itself to parodies. A Chapel Hill local was well-known for &quot;Rasta Top&quot;.

Seriously, when I look around me, not far from the Tennessee border, I have to wonder how these people came about. They don&#039;t seem evolved and who the hell would create them?
When I was teaching, one of my colleagues, when pressed to teach creationism, also demanded the right to teach how Vishnu dreamed the world, Buddhism&#039;s expanding universe, Ahura Mazda, etc. It&#039;s only fair, right?
Up next, Tennessee to require teaching prayer cures in medical schools. Also Bible physics, which explains motion as &quot;god&#039;s will&quot; thereby allowing &quot;god made my car swerve&quot; defense in court.
Never heard of it...but I looked at the website...pretty cool.
to be fair, science is hard.
Well...as long as we&#039;re making silly demands, I demand that the Spaghetti Monster be included in the mix.

I don&#039;t know. But I do know that Barney is Satan&#039;s dinosaur.
Hey, people have been doing it for global warming for years and it was chilly last week so there you go.

See. If Al Gore had gone to a fine Tennessee public school instead of St. Alban&#039;s, there wouldn&#039;t even be any global warming.
