Echinoderms & Those That Love Them Need to Hang It Up

Snail over at A Snail's Eye View, one of the best blogs on the triple -W, casts a firm vote for the Mollusks. Snail reminds also reminds us that Google delineates a clear winner. Arthropods also suck. And just in case Peter and Kevin get a little confused and start thinking about corals. For a recap of everyone's stance...

The battle royal is on with several bloggers choosing colors. The whole thing got started when Sheril at the Intersucktion state "No contest! Cukes would eat squid for breakfast" implying that somehow echinoderms were better than Mollusks. The whole thing got started when this guy, who seems…
Yes, Weblog Awards are up again. Not everyone's favourite (as opposed to the Koufaxes), as they are easily freeped and one can find candidates who should not be there, i.e., blogs that have not written anything factual in years, e.g., right-wingers in political categories, pseudoscientists in…
Continuing with asking for your help in fixing my Blogroll: Every couple of days or so, I will post here a list of blogs that start with a particular letter, and you add in the comments if you know of something that is missing from that list. See so far: Numbers and Symbols A B C Today brought to…
Here (below the fold) are some blogs whose titles start with D. As always, let me know if I am missing an important/good blog, or if yours starts with D (or one of the previous letters), or if you have any questions (e.g., why on Earth did I include that horrible blog you hate!).... DailyKos -…

And DSN bounces off the ropes, grabs Bushwell's and chomps hard! But he's ambushed! Ambushed! Rocket Science trips DSN, and Bushwell rolls on top, grabs the hair, and bounces his chin off the floor!

There goes bell.

Stay tuned for the next round of Invertebrate wresting.

It's probably fair to say that Sheril is the best thing that holothurians have going for them at this point... :)

Maybe this is simply an indication that those who study echinoderms have better things to do (like real research) than waste their time blogging or discussing the wonders of echinoderms online.

No, Its just a vindication of their inferiority. If they thought so highly of their study organisms, they would be spreading their love for and knowledge of their spiny-skinned objects of affection.

And who is wasting time by reading blogs? ahem...

Well, I'm not studying echinoderms currently and unfortunately. I'm studying the effects of estrogen on guinea pig and mouse brains; therefore, I have lots of time on my hands for distractions of the marine kind.

So, if we were going with tunicates here, could we use their Phylum? 'cause if we can, I somehow get the feeling they might trounce y'all. TUNICATA 4EVAH!

Take your tunicate comments elsewhere, they are not welcomed here
