 The best comment in this thread:

 If there are PYGMIES + DWARFS, then why are there still humans?

If there are humans, then why are there still right wing  
fundamentalist nincompoops?

  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;{
