You will long remember this one, dear reader. It’s a peek behind the curtain at the super-spiritual activities of Ken Ham (ol’ Hambo) — the ayatollah of Appalachia, the world’s holiest man who knows more about religion and science than everyone else. Their post is titled Behind the Scenes: Our In-House Print Shop, and it was written by ol’ Hambo himself. Here are some excerpts, with bold font added by us for emphasis, and occasional Curmudgeonly interjections that look [like this]:
I love sharing behind-the-scenes photos and stories with you so you can get a glimpse of everything that goes on here at Answers in Genesis.
There are some things we’d rather not know, but this isn’t one of them. He says:
Today, I want to highlight our in-house print shop. [Whoopie!] Although most of our printing is contracted out through commercial printers, publishers, etc., guess how many clicks (a “click” is one side of the paper being printed) our print shop does each year?
Tell us, Hambo! So he tells us:
The printers in our print shop do around seven million clicks a year! Seven million!
Ooooooooooooh! We’re impressed! But there’s even more news! Hambo continues:
The two long rows of printers in the photos [embedded in Hambo’s post] are new ones we just installed three months ago. These new printers have already hit over one million clicks.
Impressive! Let’s read on:
In the other images, you’ll see Rich (who has run our print shop for 13 years now) trimming handouts, printing posters, binding books, and putting postage on outgoing mail.
Rich has a thrilling job. Here’s another excerpt:
Now, what is done in our print shop represents a small fraction of AiG’s total print needs, but it sure is a blessing having our own shop for producing daily schedules for the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, various brochures, small books, and much more.
All that output, and it’s all so wonderful. Verily, Hambo is a titanic benefit to the environment! And now we come to the end:
We’re so thankful for all the people — and the wonderful technology like these printers — that allow us to share the good news of the gospel with so many people each year.
Isn’t Hambo wonderful for cranking out all that stuff? Verily, he’s a blessing to the environment!

The Sensuous Curmudgeon 
As usual, Ham attributes his commercial success to Divine favour: his print shop is “a blessing”, as if it arrived out of the blue on Ham’s doorstep one morning, with a big ribbon and a card reading, “Have fun. Love and kisses, God”.
What actually surprises me is that it only fulfills “a small fraction” of his needs. Jeepers. How many trees does Ham chew through in a year? And what proportion is that to how much print propaganda he puts out on the internet? The mind boggles.
in all of those millions of print, where is there a description of an alternative to natural descent with modification which accounts for the variety of life on Earth? Such as:
* How it happens that the bodies of humans are most physically similar to those of chimps and other apes, from among all other forms that life takes. (Does this suggest a similarity of purpose?)
* How it happens that life as we know it exists only on a privileged planet in a finely tuned physical universe.
* What the probability is that an agency with access to an infinity if possibilities without limit, would be responsible for life within the boundaries that we find for it. (Is it greater than a finite number divided by infinity, that is: zero? [Keeping in mind that zero probability does not mean impossible.]}

“good news of the gospel”
Good news! All your friends will burn in hell but you don’t have to. You gotta admit that’s some pretty good news.
Eskimo: “If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?”
Priest: “No, not if you did not know.”
Eskimo: “Then why did you tell me?”
Priest: “Because it’s good news! Best news ever! Also, you are ‘without excuse’ if you are protestant or something so be glad it was me who told you.”
Eskimo: “Do you know we have over a hundred zillion words for snow?”
First of all WordPress is broken again. Unable to show name. And to whoever wrote the joke above. I burst out laughing. And next time you write or tell the joke, please change to Inuit.
Stupid wordpress, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Must I really include my last name? It isn’t significant.
All I can think of is this:
How many trees must die?
So that Hambo may lie
They must only have one (or two) people there because if two (or three) people gather in their God’s name and ask for stuff they wouldn’t need the printing press (or two or three).
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
I just realized either they don’t agree on anything or they have three or four people.
I just realized again, it could be two on the even days and three on the odd days. Their G_d is known for arbitrary rules like that. So they would have to hire part time help for the odd days, which they have failed to do apparently.
