Kind of Like "Guess Who?"
Today, someone said
[I]t's like trying to couple sugar and shit on our dessert plate.
Any idea what they were talking about?

We give up, what _are_ they talking about?

Oh, right. It's good ol' level-headed Dr. Myers talking about "bridging a gap between science and religion." Nothing like a little inflamatory extremism to get the comments up on a big-name blog.

"like trying to couple sugar and shit on our dessert plate."
So if science and religion are, respectively, the sugar and the shit, what's the dessert plate? It can't be our lives because having a "dessert" plate implies other plates. But why would science go with dessert? Is it that inessential? I don't much care about the tired comment (Dawkins has said it all much better), but I am troubled by the thoughtless simile.
Happy birthday, by the by.
