Profile

My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. As well as writing this blog, I am also the Online Discussion Expert for PLoS. This is a personal blog and opinions within it in no way reflect the policies of PLoS. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

Apparently, this is incapable of differentiating different Sb blogs, so this percentage is for the Scienceblogs.com as a whole.

I think that there is something wrong with this. I only scored a 5.9%. I don't get it, Bora. You and I are both darwinists. We should be using much fouler language.

But my Mom reads my blog! Perhaps if I say Sorry every time afterwads, it will be OK?

Posted by: Coturnix | March 29, 2008 7:16 PM

I only got 0.7%. Am I really such a wuss? :)

Except of course, for some of the commenters that write "clock" without the "l". Now who would do something as stupid as that? There goes your cuss-o-meter!

C'mon, dude! Get with the fucking program!

Posted by: PhysioProf | March 29, 2008 8:47 PM

That thing is broken: I got 0%.

Posted by: bill | March 29, 2008 9:48 PM

No way, Bill! It must be broken!

Posted by: Coturnix | March 29, 2008 10:19 PM

Zero per cent? Rowrbazzle!

What kind of ratzin'-fratzin' blagstaggered blog are you running, anyhow?

Posted by: Michael Burton | March 30, 2008 1:57 AM

I'm shattered. I only scored a 16.8%. They did mention that that is more than 84% of other websites that took the test, and gave me a "High" rating, but still. I've got what many people consider a "cuss" word in my url, for god's sake! And yesterday (conincidentally)I posted on the f word.

I think the metre may be thrown off by my use of English rather than American spelling...

I don't think that thing works at all. Apparently, according to its metric, I have quite the potty-mouth, with over 90% of the pages on my blog containing cuss words. Um, no. I did a quick scan of the last 20 posts. One was a rant in which I used the words "bitch" and "piss" exactly once each in a 2000-word post. Otherwise, nada. I'd be very curious to hear what the program considers to be "cussing." :)

I'd like to know too. I tried my web site (not a blog) which has no cussing worth the title. Yet I got 7.1%.

Posted by: QrazyQat | March 30, 2008 4:13 PM

You increased the cuss level with some of your comments at Nisbet's blog I see :)

(which was entirely warranted - bravo sir)

Posted by: szqc | March 30, 2008 4:55 PM

I'm with Bill. How is it possible that mine has 0%. Obviously, I'm not using my blog to express my true feelings about things. It's gotta be fixed.

Posted by: makita | March 30, 2008 5:34 PM

Um, I only got a 2.9%. That thing is broken!

Either that, or it doesn't recognize "clusterfucktastrope" and "dog wank" as cuss words, lol.
