Sorry. I just couldn't resist. This week's Tangled Bank has an ancient Greek theme, so I think it's entirely appropriate to have King Leonidas summon you to Tangled Bank #84. Don't worry, there isn't much carnage involved.

Incredibly interesting. The question I found most interesting was whether what they were doing can be truly considered "science," meaning tested, testable, and falsifiable. Their thoughts on devilution are innovative (as I thought much of their "science" was), but they couldn't really test it. ...of course, I guess they could have thrown to animals together and tried to see if they would mesh, haha!

The entire series is excellent, but the last post, IMHO, deserves a Pharyngulanche....:

Yo PZ,
Thanks for the blog. Is there any way to make comments organized into threads/subjects? The posts that really catch fire could sure use it. I'm leaving this comment here so it has a chance of getting your attention...

Wow. The photo sorta gives a whole new meaning to "Tangled Bank."

Uh, PZ, Leonidas was a MAN who believed in defending his country.
Why are YOU referencing him?
