The atheist bus ad campaign is coming to Canada, specifically Toronto.
In polite Canada it will say “There is probably no God – unless that idea offends you, in which case there probably is. May we respectfully offer the suggestion that you might want to consider that it could be a good idea to stop worrying and enjoy your life. Unless you enjoy worrying, in which case it is OK to worry. Eh.”
From the Telegraph
Psychiatrist Dr Karen Norberg, of National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, spent a year knitting an anatomically correct replica of the human brain.
“For me, there were two humorous aspects. One was simply to undertake such a ridiculously complex, time consuming project for no practical reason.
“The second was the idea of making a somewhat mysterious and difficult object – a brain – out of a ‘cuddly’, cheerfully coloured, familiar material like cotton yarn.”
Here we have the rare case of a psychiatrist spending a year doing something useful – insofar as she could not use the time taken knitting to further muddle some already sufficiently addled patient-victim.
