Intelligent Design Keeps the Stink

Over at Inkling, one of our favorite science magazine/blogs (that just happens to have been started by three women, and is published out of Vancouver, BC) David Ng gets into the mind of an Intelligent Designer, causing Seattlest to spew coffee this morning. Sorry, keyboard, we wanted a new one anyhow.

Now, of course, I need to work in a clown somehow. I love clowns. In truth, clowns are my all-time favorite design. How will I do this? Perhaps give the animal a raucous and overt sense of humor? Make it wear funny shoes? Make it scare the shit out of young children? No, not subtle enough – I want this animal to be so much deeper than that.
