Well, this certainly explains a lot...

...about the internecine warfare that breaks out from time to time around ScienceBlogs. At times we do appear to be a lot like professional wrestling.

Can you find Orac in there?

Actually, Orac, I knew you right away. Looks JUST like you.

I was actually hoping for a ray blast from Orac rather than a brute force physical contact method shown. Gets the job done but lacks finesse...

Intellect from above!!!! :D

Who knew Orac could fly?

I would have preferred an image of an extremely bored "Professor Orac" stifling a yawn as he exits the uncouth scene.

Self-deprecating humor is why science-based bloggers are made of WIN! *L*

It's Orac off the top rope!

I thought your were blonder and snarkier looking?

off topic but one of the ads on the right side tried to load a trojan on my computer. Hope everyone has good anti-virus.

As I posted elsewhere:
Orac: "You'll have to toss me. . .
Don't tell ERV "

The biggest laugh-out-loud moment I had when I saw that was when I spotted Orac.

Even in the context of pro wrestling, that was way too much for me to suspend my disbelief. I mean really, a silent Orac? That makes about as much sense as a pacifist heel.

@nsib "I mean really, a silent Orac?"

Not at all - you just have to be clear about it.

***
ORAC: Define the words 'Shut up'.
Blake: Stop talking. Do not speak. Be silent.
ORAC: That is better. Our relationship will be best served if your statements are free of ambiguity. *Shuts up*

Of course being thrown across a wrestling mosh pit could have the same effect for a while.

Orac, you are the palest one in there. Get some sun.

Um, who are all the folks there? Actually, I am more interested the in the folks I follow. I know the flying plastic box is Orac, but which one is PalMD?

Is that an octopus tat on PZ Myers?

Has anyone identified them all somewhere?
