Random Quote
(Complete listing)As in 1925, creationists are not battling for religion. They have been disowned by leading church men of all persuasions, for they debase religion even more than they misconstrue science. They are a motley collection to be sure, but their core of practical support lies with the evangelical right, and creationism is a mere stalking horse or subsidiary issue in a political program…The enemy is not fundamentalism; it is intolerance. In this case, the intolerance is perverse since it masquerades under the 'liberal' rhetoric of 'equal time'.
[Stephen J Gould]

Is Shelley the only woman on there? And am I not hot enough to even be included? Where's Cyberspace Rendezvous?

Isn't this a rhetorical question? Or perhaps a moot point? It seems a little like asking "Who is the hottest math teacher?" Perhaps I am surrendering to nerd stereotypes. I blame years of oppression.
Maybe that's why it was such a shock to me when a colleague surreptitiously showed me a page from a recent issue of The Advocate. It showed an interview with a twenty-something porn star who said he planned to be a math teacher when he finished putting himself through college with his X-rated career. Neither one of us has had the balls to post the interview in the faculty break room. "Future hot math teacher! Can we stand the comparison?"
Maybe I should do a blog post. The accompanying picture was not X-rated. It just didn't look like any of the math teachers I've ever seen before (either at school or in the mirror).

I don't rate either, coturnix. :) Didn't even see PZ on there either.

If it's any consolation, when I clicked through, you were outperforming the picture of a chimp in reading glasses at Flags and Lollipops - Bioinformatics Blog, but only by 18 to 21.

When I clicked there were two guys, boys really, and I do prefer a more mature (and geeky) man. Does that help ease the trauma?

No offense to coturnix, but I think Tara definitely belongs on there.

Let me go on record right now. Tara Smith is the hottest science blogger.

There seems to be a trend towards any recogniseably female picture being rated at least 10 points higher than anything else. Perhaps this says something about the demography of ScienceBlogs readers?
Posted by: David Marjanović | September 4, 2006 7:02 PM
PZ is in there.
The gorgonopsian is a great idea!

Shocking; Tara got my vote before even clicking on the link.

No. No. Do you know what these terms mean?
It seems a little like asking "Who is the hottest math teacher?"
Actually it's a lot like that, and like that it is neither a rhetorical question nor a moot point.
Perhaps I am surrendering to nerd stereotypes. I blame years of oppression.
I blame a poor education, resulting in your failure to understand the concept of "sample space".

Well, PZ mysteriously has a relatively high score...
Posted by: Zeno | September 5, 2006 1:39 PM
Hmm. No, it couldn't be that. My education was very, very good.
