There's a new entry in the Urban Dictionary: pz envy.
The jealousy expressed by an atheist who's not quite as famous, popular, or controversial as PZ Myers. "
Unknown Atheist Blogger felt some serious pz envy when she realized she didn't have enough followers to crash a poll."
Bob: Man, I only got one piece of hate mail last month, but Pharyngula mocked 42 letters this past week!
Jane: Oh, enough of your pz envy!

If you want to remind me just how few people bother with my blog, then try asking for the best atheist youtube videos. I'm sure that if PZ does it he'll get a lot more links than I did.
The response I got to my request for atheist youtube videos was pathetic. I got only one comment. Compared to the response I got from my request for music, which got 27 comments from 15 different people, and more importantly some very interesting music, it was pretty lame.
Still, I did find an interesting youtuber, Richard Coughlan, also known as coughlan666. If you saw new, re-imagined, Battlestar Galactica, you'll be spooked by how much this guy reminds you of Baltar:

At risk of incurring in a personality cult of PZ, there are good reasons of pz envy:
- He's a biological scientist. As theistards have attacked specially the theory of evolution (and not, for example, the atomic theory or the cell theory or continental drift theory), an evo-devo scientist is the best image to resist, fight and win.
- He's from Minnesota, at the full hearth of North America, so at the full hearth of the most deranged First World continent of the Earth. He is not from Paris or London, or Heidelberg, or Tokyo. He is not even from Los Angeles San Francisco, New York or Chicago.
- He's not a unsensitive atheist. He is a full humanistic and progressive atheist, full of compassion and solidarity. To me this is an important difference from "laissez faire" atheists.
- He's not an appeaser. He fully embraces the culture war of our era and fights it at risk of receiving hate e-mail and threats.

My recollection is Mabus/Markuze—who almost certainly is genuinely insane—claims something about Nostradamus predicting something (a rock band or something) which, in turn, then somehow predicted the successful attack on the twin towers (9/11). And somehow, because of that "logic", he should have won Randi's million dollar prize. I think he did actually apply for the prize? Then what happened I do not know, but my guess is the same thing as with most other applicants: Failed to meet the conditions, kept changing the terms, and so on?

Somebody above (@141) complained about feeding the troll and all. I say the Rev BDC can feed 'em all he likes as far as I'm concerned...if he continues to slaughter them as they flock in. (Do trolls flock?). Best big laughs of the morning are the Rev's potshots. Especially this one:

Also, I think PZ should be upper-case in "PZ envy". It's obviously based on a proper noun and it's not old, like boycott or hertz or watt or ohm.
