Things that came from FARK

"A local reverend and former Greenwood County Council member" gets busted for being a john, and petitions to have the charges dropped.

In the petition, Armfield proclaims he is a “descendant of the original Moro-Pithecus Disoch, Kenyapithecus and Afro Pithecus, whose ancestors roamed from that point throughout the world. A living flesh and blood being with sovereign status. A femme couleur libre.”

He has cleverly avoided drawing unwanted attention to his arrest.

Mark Twain gets fed up with a snakeoil salesman and breaks out the cranky pants. Courtesy of Letters of Note:

The person who wrote the advertisements is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet; also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link.

Um. The reverend is a "free woman of color?" Or something? What?

Actually, I believe it's a standard legal phrase for 'completely batshit'.

Isn't Kenyapithecus a secret teabagger code name for the president?

Wow, I hope you're joking about the teabaggers. Anyway, it's possible we're all descended from Kenyapithecus

But of course (mind you, I've blocked out the endless taxonomy bit from my anthropology course, what of it I ever absorbed). It just strikes me as the kind of thing that the teabaggers would do (equating Obama to the "Kenya Ape" of anthropology...)
