Big victory for the, uhhh.... Hittites?

Hey, folks, give it up for my personal favorite biblical tribe. But this is a vistory for nomadic tribes everywhere, really, extinct for millennia and otherwise. Oh, and for all modern nations who compete with the US in science and technology.

TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) -- At the risk of re-igniting the same heated nationwide debate it sparked six years ago, the Kansas Board of Education approved new public school science standards Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.

The 6-4 vote was a victory for "intelligent design" advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.

Wait a minute... this could be a brilliant coup. Watch for the latest GM hybrid vehicle to hit the market next spring. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... "Man in the Sky Horseless Chariot!"
