I hate describing "science" or "religion" as single, unitary things. Though I am guilty of doing just that.

And I am always skeptical of science being described as the pursuit for truth. It can be. It may also be a pursuit for funding and grant monies.

Are there religions that abhor doubt and require absolutism? Absolutely. See Jesus Camp or many videos on this site.

But I tend to dislike how this site paints every religion from Buddhism, to Hinduism, to Dorothy Day Catholicism, to Tom Cruise Scientology as mere stupid variations of down-home Mississippi Fundamentalism.

And science alone has such a difficult time with art, inspiration, human attraction, and social interaction. For instance, that discarded but exceedingly scientific and clinical realblankman video shows how science wholly misses the fun of sex. I am still scarred. Evil science.

"The Jitter Bug": $80,000 scene cut from the Wizard of Oz (live action at ~1:24)

YouTube commentary:

This is "behind the camera" footage of the Jitterbug scene that went lost after being cut from the film.
The film originally contained an elaborate production number called "The Jitter Bug", which cost $80,000 and took five weeks to shoot. In the scene, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly lion, and the Tin Woodsman are on their way to the Witch's castle when they are attacked by "jitter bugs" - furry pink and blue mosquito-like "rascals" that give one "the jitters" as they buzz about in the air. When, after its first preview, the movie was judged too long, MGM officials decided to sacrifice the "Jitter Bug" scene. They reasoned that it added little to the plot and, because a dance by the same name had just become popular, they feared it might date the picture. The Witch still refers to the bug in the final film, just before telling the Monkeys to "Fly!" Only home movies of the filming of "The Jitterbug" survive, though the song is on current versions of both the soundtrack CD and the recent anniversary edition videotape. The sequence was also incorporated into a recent stage version of the musical.

Tornado during soccer game

Not really a tornado, per se. deathcow called it- it's a dust devil- a small, localized event caused by convection currents- not the storms and supercells that spawn tornadoes. It's not gonna' suck you up, Dorothy, but you probably should duck to avoid debris.
