Thomas Huxley was known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his many public defenses of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Richard Dawkins has been labeled "Darwin's Rottweiler", drawing a parallel between Dawkins's current role as a popularizer of science (and defender of reason) and Huxley's as a public face for Darwin. All that is well and good, and you probably knew it already. But when can we start calling PZ Myers "Dawkins's Pit Bull"?
