Okay, I got a stack dump at the above link. Too much of an in-joke

of us who are obviously out-joked?

The joke sort of spun off from there and recurs cyclically, generally
when some religidiot makes an inane argument about evolution or biology.
Thank you. I never read pharyngula, but sometimes the stuff spills over
to Respectful Insolence. (Which I haven't read since October or so,
unfortunately.)

I seldom read it, either. Sometimes particular entries are
referenced on the Bad Astronomy blog, but even then I seldom go there
unless it looks really interesting. That's almost never when it
comes to religious topics, 'cuz the impassioned writings of True
Believing Skeptics (including, more and more often :(, Phil Plait the
BA) are generally no less trying to read than the impassioned
writings of True Believing YECs and ID advocates . . . X;{
