Uneducated = Idiots.

Can't agree with that. There are plenty of extremely bright people who have never had what we would consider to be a "proper education" - any member of the remaining hunter/gatherer tribes is likely to be more intelligent than the average Westerner (survival/reproduction for them still maintains strong selective pressures in favor of intelligence and creativity), although their knowledge base is significantly smaller. Likewise, there are plenty of people who, through no fault of their own, have suffered the misfortune of having a BAD education - home-schooled children of creationists get their own special form of sympathy from me.

Intelligence and knowledge are not the same thing. You can be smart and not bother to learn anything, and you can find idiots who memorized everything they were taught in school (even if they don't understand it, they know it).

Now, had you said that the uneducated tend to be idiots... that I'd have had no problem with. ;) And you were right before... the dinosaurs didn't all die out 65 million years ago. Plenty are still around today - you probably call them "birds".

So... Pictures?

Pali, what science sites do you have for me?

I keep up with a number of blogs on scienceblogs.com, Jerry Coyne's blog at whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com... you can also find a LOT of science developments at researchblogging.org. Some of the blogs stray into politics or religious topics a bit (scientists tending to be more nonreligious than most), but there are always regular science-related posts.
