A bit of fun: fossils say no

This picture is not new. I've seen it many times on the Internet.
Nevertheless, it never seizes to intrigue me. I can't imagine what's in the brains of the car owner. He (say it's a "he") is a "proud American", an "anti-evolutionist", he wants "god" to "bless America", and he believes he has a proof for all this because he probably lives in a redneck corner where other morons like him will honk every time they drive by. And he will feel justified with so many people supporting him. Even if, occasionally, a rational person happens to disagree, this car owner will feel even more proud for his holding his beliefs and for managing to annoy some people (a minority, I suppose, in the place where he lives). There is something deeply perverted about this thing...

  1. The fossils say yes actually.
    How can these people criticize evolution when I doubt they actually even read the origin... Hell they probably haven't even read the bible... Can they read at all? :(

  2. Not only the can read, but they (creationists/intelligent-disignists) also claim that they learn Science from the Bible.

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line
