PETERSBURG, Ky. (AP) — Northern Kentucky's Creation Museum is 'evolving' into a larger facility. Thus, one of my favorite punching bags gets another post. Thanks Creation Museum!

The museum will add 663 parking spaces, outdoor canopies and a maintenance building and will move its main entrance as part of a $500,000 upgrade, according to a report in The Kentucky Enquirer.

The controversial museum, which uses literal interpretations of the Bible to tell the earth's history, welcomed its 250,000th visitor five months after its opening on Memorial Day. The museum had expected to get 250,000 visitors its entire first year. That's 1/4 of a million people, folks. My guess is that some of those numbers are inflated, as many people had to come back - because it is very hard to read all those hard words on the placards.

The larger-than-expected crowds left the facility with an overflowing parking lot, forcing staff to park miles away. That's too bad. If they would have gotten there earlier, say before it opened, maybe they could have had the pick of the lot?

Adam and Eve from the Creation Museum - Looks to me like Eve likes it on top? Where's Lilith? I mean, if you're going to make Evangelical pr0n... go all the way - not that limp Skin-a-max garbage.

Bill Hicks once said, ""In many parts of our troubled world, people are yelling 'Revolution!'. In Tennessee they're yelling 'Evolution! We want our thumbs!"
