It's occured to me that if anyone ever actually read the previous post here they could be left thinking that I'm actually a Christian and, even worse, that I have something against chocolate. I am neither of these things. I am a fundamentalist atheist and take my non-beliefs very seriously, to the point where I am considering making the ultimate sacrifice for my cause and blowing myself up on a crowded bus with a cry of "For the glory of science!" as I press the button.
But I'm not going to (in case this blog turns up as evidence somewhere) mainly because it would really hurt and it probably wouldn't work, and what cause would want a cowardy incompetent martyr?
As for chocolate, well, I think in a strange kind of way my constant consumption of the solid brown nectar is blowing me up anyway, it'll just take 20 years rather than 20 milliseconds.
