Pharyngula
Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
An absolutely awesome game.
Phil is pleased that water has been discovered on Mars, and thinks this is a good reason to send spaceships there…and back. As a biologist, I wonder what alien life forms could be flourishing in that damp opportunity, and would urge careful disinfection. Who knows what weird parasitic microorganisms could be lurking there? Do you really want to endorse a rocket jockey when what you really need is someone able to understand and fight the alien threat?
Vote for Pharyngula. Unless you want Martian pod-fungus to eat your brain.
P.S. Also, you need to vote for anyone other than Stop the ACLU in this category.
Really, I wasn’t going to make a big deal of this award, but then Phil had to go and mock the noble name of Pharyngula, and make it all a challenge. Now as a matter of honor I have to try and defeat the Bad Astronomy blog.
I have to do this. If you read that post, it is revealed that Phil has posed nude for the SkepDude calendar. This is a troubling precedent, I’m sure you’ll all agree that we shouldn’t encourage bloggers to let it all hang out in public like that.
Vote for Pharyngula. Unless you want me to pose nekkid.
Because, honestly, The Atheist Delusion sounds exactly like the usual argument from real theistic apologists.
Where can I find this “Nature Store”?
I take my criticisms back. It seems Intelligent Design creationism has made a profound contribution to computer science.
Introduction
Intelligent design sort is a sorting algorithm based on the theory of intelligent design.
Algorithm Description
The probability of the original input list being in the exact order it’s in is 1/(n!). There is such a small likelihood of this that it’s clearly absurd to say that this happened by chance, so it must have been consciously put in that order by an intelligent Sorter. Therefore it’s safe to assume that it’s already optimally Sorted in some way that transcends our naïve mortal understanding of “ascending order”. Any attempt to change that order to conform to our own preconceptions would actually make it less sorted.
Analysis
This algorithm is constant in time, and sorts the list in-place, requiring no additional memory at all. In fact, it doesn’t even require any of that suspicious technological computer stuff. Praise the Sorter!
Since Wilkins, Lynch, and Mike are doing this, I must follow (my mom said something about friends and cliffs once…I’m hoping that they don’t ever decide to jump off one). The two mad biologists achieve parity!
You are a terrorist-loving, Bush-bashing, “blame America first”-crowd traitor. You are in league with evil-doers who hate our freedoms. By all counts you are a liberal, and as such cleary desire the terrorists to succeed and impose their harsh theocratic restrictions on us all. You are fit to be hung for treason! Luckily George Bush is tapping your internet connection and is now aware of your thought-crime. Have a nice day…. in Guantanamo!
I can’t gloat too much, though. This is one of those skewed tests where I think you’d have to be certifiably insane to score below 90%.
If you need help figuring out how to irritate me, here’s a long, long list.
Those godless heathenish Scandinavians…I think you can figure this one out even if you don’t know Norwegian.
Thanks, Kjetil Åkra!
If you really must have something in English, Kristine uncovers a Chick parody: Mommy burns in Hell. That’ll cheer you right up.
Go ahead, fill it out. These forms are so easy to lose. Don’t forget to send in the warranty information, too!
