It would be a pretty good bet that the gods of a world like this probably do not play chess and indeed this is the case. In fact no gods anywhere play chess. They haven't got the imagination. Gods prefer simple, vicious games, where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence but Go Straight To Oblivion; a key to the understanding of all religions is that a god's idea of amusement is Snakes and Ladders with greased rungs.
(Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters)

Pharyngula has made it into the finals for several of the Koufax Awards. Just click on a link and leave a comment to vote for your choice…and remember, only vote once per category.
You know, if I'm the only one who votes for me it is going to be incredibly embarrassing.

It's going to be even more embarrassing if I'm the only one who votes for you in the best series category.

OK, you got my vote in 3 out of 6 categories. I had to spread my love to SOME extent...
Posted by: Alon Levy | March 21, 2006 12:13 AM
Yeah, me too. I voted for Majikthise for Best Blog, for example.
Posted by: AoT | March 21, 2006 12:27 AM
Oh, I'm *absolutely* sure that you'll be the only one voting for yourself.

One vote for Best Blog from me.
(and you don't fool me. Your post "Chance and regularity in the development of the fly eye" is one of your shots
at Best Post for next year.
I voted by e-mail.

The posts in the best post cathegory are amazing. Both your post, and Chris' post have stayed with me since I read them back when they were first posted, as have a couple of the others. Others I read for the first time now.

Is Wampum just the world's slowest site, or is it being overwhelmed with votes for Pharyngula?
Everything takes a tedious lifetime to load or submit!

It's currently overwhelmed. If you look at this post, you'll see directions for how to vote by e-mail.
