NOFX - Best god in Show Lyrics

I've no consideration,
zero mutual respect
For billions who suffer from
rational thought neglect
I don't wanna waste a sentence,
I don't want a convert-sation
That's gonna end in disdain,
disbelief and aggravation

And I find it's getting harder to hang out
With grown adults who actually believe
In Santa Claus and Noah's Ark
and that their god is the best
My distaste has turned into detest

Who would read a 2000
year old medical journal
Techniques for bloodletting,
advice on Trichinosis
Would you navigate the globe
with a map of a flat earth
Without DNA testing,
would you believe virgin birth

And I find it's getting painful to put up
With grown adults who actually believe
In Unicorns and Creation,
and God always takes their side
That's when my innocent jabbing turns snide

Thank God for the Grammy,
thank God for the touchdown
Thank God for blowing up
the enemy's sacred ground

So how am I supposed to take
anything you say seriously?
When you've swapped free will for faith,
how and pre-destiny

And it's getting agonizing to hang out
With grown adults who actually believe
Mythology and history
trump physics and science
My aversion has turned to abhorrence

Watchout for addListener onEnterFrame issue

don't know why but don't put an onEnterFrame on a onLoadInit for a listener, at about 2500 frames things go screwy.... i.e. image loaded using the listener disappears when an onLoadInit is assigned using a onLoadInit.

Nasty php session issue in IE6 & IE7

As discussed here
http://www.blog.lessrain.com/flash-nasty-xml-load-bug-in-internet-explorer/


if you are using https and calling sendandload in Flash to get variables using sessions IE6 and IE7 need to have the following headers

Immediately after session_start (), the following two lines are required:
header ("Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate");
header ("Pragma: public");

Thanks canuckster and Adobe finally http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=fdc7b5c&sliceId=2
