There are 7 new articles in PLoS ONE today. As always, you should rate the articles, post notes and comments and send trackbacks when you blog about the papers. You can now also easily place articles on various social services (CiteULike, Mendeley, Connotea, Stumbleupon, Facebook and Digg) with…
You might have thought we'd have a new study for you to participate in this week. You're half right. If you've read CogDaily, Terra Sigillata, Uncertain Principles, or Chaotic Utopia in the past two weeks, you've actually been participating in today's non-scientific study. ScienceBloggers have a…
ERV is probably right. No one reads Uncommon Descent. I've noticed this before, and others have written to me about it. A link on any of the blogs of the creationist flavor, including UD, probably the most "popular" of the ID bunch, brings negligible traffic. I've been linked to with outrage and…
There's an issue of Eos sitting on my desk at work with a front-page article about how to manage outreach. Earth scientists know stuff that's important - this week's huge earthquakes (covered all over the geoblogosphere) are just one example. Water's another. And climate. And volcanoes. And…

WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE??

EVILUTION IS CRUMBLING AROUND US!

CREATIONISTS ARE WINNING! WE CANT FIGHT THIS SHIT! WERE SURROUNDED!

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!

And now a thousand people will go over there looking for the post linking to you, and all the folks at UD will be happy...

And maybe a couple of people will click to see my blog because I wrote this...

Round and round it goes...

Even though the cracker inquisition is in full swing, this is still the funniest thing I've seen today.

That's it ERV. You've proved acceptance of evolution is a not an adaptive behavior. Richard Dawkins has guaranteed our extinction. All we can do now is go find some nice, peaceful anoxic lake bottom where sediment is accumulating and we can be buried and fossilized.

Here's a better idea than reading UD: diet water

I'm disappointed by how many people must be reading you at work.

Aaah now, we can't spoil the fun for the Uncommonly Dense crowd now, shall we? Or rather, they're merely showing that they're Uncommon Dissent.

Am I the only one who enjoys pronouncing "UD" as if it were a monosyllabic word?

So people who hang out there would be udders?

maybe you should have framed better

May I suggest a simple, unobtrusive brushed aluminum?

Am I the only one who enjoys pronouncing "UD" as if it were a monosyllabic word?

Nope. That's the first thing I thought of as I was skimming through the feeds this morning. It's also highly appropriate when you consider that "UHD" is a anagram of "DUH."

So people who hang out there would be udders?

You've got me tittering. ;-)

UD. Rhymes with "FUD." There's an "eff-word" joke in there somewhere, but I haz teh dum today and can't get to it...

However, you are perfectly free, AFAIC, to start calling UD "Uncertainty and Doubt." :)

Aaacck! PUN ishment!!

I always try to milk a pun for all it's worth. You'd be udderly disappointed if I didn't. (And I suppose I'd be udderly disappointed if someone didn't have a cow about it.)

As Albert Hitchcock once said: "Puns are the highest form of literature."

Move over, Will. :-)
