CAUTION: Following the links in today's Atheist of the Day post may lead you to places that might trigger alerts from the various forms of nannyware that your {employer/ parent / spouse/ boyfriend/ girlfriend/ government} may be using to spy on you or control your Internet experience. And even if there's no nannyware, there's still your browser history. With that disclaimer out of the way, we move on to today's much-anticipated installment of this popular (with me, anyway) series...

Since the previous Atheist of the Day was an April Fools joke, it's time to get this series back on a serious track. And nothing says "serious" like a gratuitious photo of a recently retired porn star. So today's Atheist of the Day is MENSA geek Asia Carrera. From the defunct Celebrity Atheist List website:
Allow me to confirm that yes, I am a diehard atheist, and have been since I was about 5 and discovered to my annoyance that there was no santa claus, no easter bunny, and no tooth fairy. well, that was it for me - I resolved then and there that no one was going to sucker ME into believing in any more invisible characters with superpowers! as I grew older, the more I learned about the histories of organized religions, the more convinced I became that (a) people around the world are extremely gullible, and (b) i need to get off my ass and start a religion of my own!
You can confirm her atheism by going to the journal on her own website:
All of a sudden I find atheism to be a big relief - otherwise I think I would have started painting all my ceilings with lead so I could get a little privacy around here! Hehehe!!
She's even got a page of irreverent quotes on her web site:
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day.
Give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish

A little boy prayed for a bike. Then he realized God doesn't work that way so he stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
P.S.: According to my friend at Almost Infamous, she's also an Unreal Tournament player. I took the trouble to verify this, and it seems to be true. You can even download Unreal Tournament "skins" she made of herself (so you can look like her in the game).

P.P.S.: For those of you who are concerned that Atheist of the Day is going to become an excuse to post pictures of porn stars, rest assured that there does not seem to be an abundant supply of porn stars with web-accesible verification of unbelief in God.

Snarking The Odyssey (with AD&D)

WARNING: Those of you who are accustomed to pithy political remarks here on Internal Monologue should brace yourselves for a major dose of gaming geekitude. Here's a link to one "Jamie R." who does a very snarky close reading of Homer's The Odyssey (HT: Mad Latinist via email). I've only read book 1, but it's pretty funny so far. An excerpt: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men… Sooooo, he’s in charge, and everybody dies. Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero and his colossal failure. What? … for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever rea

Where is 56th and Wabasha? "Meet Me in the Morning" Dylan Mystery Solved

By -

Short version The lyric is not "Fifty-sixth and Wabasha", it is actually "Fifty-six and Wabasha", referring to the intersection of old Minnesota Highway 56 and Wabasha Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota. If you listen, you can hear Dylan sing "fifty-six", rather than "fifty-sixth", particularly on the take that was released as the B-side to "Duquesne Whistle". Minnesota Highway 56 no longer intersects Wabasha Street, but from 1963 to 1974 it did intersect Wabasha Street, at what is now (in Feb. 2021) the intersection of George Street and Cesar Chavez Street in St. Paul, or possibly South Wabasha & Cesar Chavez.  Long Version "Meet Me in the Morning" is the first song on side two of Bob Dylan's celebrated 1975 album  Blood on the Tracks. In the opening lines of the song, according to the lyrics on Bob Dylan's official site (https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/meet-me-morning/), the narrator invites the listener to a rendez

Victim or perpetrator? How about both!

Remember in the movie Adaptation , the main character's brother has this idea for a screenplay called The Three? It's about a detective trying to track down a serial killer before he kills his next victim. Pretty standard, right? The twist is that the detective, serial killer, and victim, are all actually the same person . Whoa, dude. Fight Club 's got nothin' on that one. Well, this isn't quite that weird. But apparently, Utah legal authorities are somewhat perplexed by a situation in which a 13-year-old girl and her 12-year-old boyfriend are both simultaneously the perpetrators and victims of the same crime: having sex with each other (HT: Feministing ): Utah Supreme Court justices acknowledged Tuesday that they were struggling to wrap their minds around the concept that a 13-year-old Ogden girl could be both an offender and a victim for the same act - in this case, having consensual sex with her 12-year-old boyfriend. The girl was put in this odd position be
