Found this gem on the bumpersticker of a pickup in the student parking lot today. Now I recognize that healthcare and medicine have little practical overlap with theoretical physics and cosmology, but we are all reasonably intelligent people here at MCG, and this seems a little, well, silly. Now this car could have belonged to a nursing student, a PhD candidate, a medical student, whoever it was at the school. But regardless of what program they are in, he/she spends a number of hours daily in a science book, and you would think that that would help you develop a little more sophistication in your understanding of our origins than, "Bang, it happened." I love Augusta, and the South in general, for this reason: it is a complicated place, with a complicated people. There are so many social dichotomies and paradoxes here. The kindest people saying the most racist things (on both sides, by the way), the smartest people clinging to entirely
unintelligent beliefs. But it's home...

You must consider- this could be a classic case of the leftover used car bumpersticker. Like when my Grandad bought a crummy Oldsmobile that had a sticker that said "My other ride is YOUR MOM" Did he ever take that bumbersticker off? No. Was his other ride your Mom? unlikely.
