Sorry. I just couldn't resist. This week's Tangled Bank has an ancient Greek theme, so I think it's entirely appropriate to have King Leonidas summon you to Tangled Bank #84. Don't worry, there isn't much carnage involved.

Don posted the seventh edition of Oekologie yesterday morning (it's late, but he's on vacation; have fun, Don).
I'll have Tangled Bank #84 up tomorrow, so get your submissions in by this evening. I'm thinking that the theme will be ancient Greek/Roman science history. We'll see.
In my stream of consciousness post about Joe Lieberman, I noted that Lieberman's loss reveals just how inept the Democratic consultant and advisor class is. Over at My Left Wing, thereisnospoon picks up on this theme:

Lil John has a theme song for RHIC's latest experimental run.
Sorry, sorry! I couldn't resist. RHIC's actual ditty of the moment goes more like this. (Clean…
Incredibly interesting. The question I found most interesting was whether what they were doing can be truly considered "science," meaning tested, testable, and falsifiable. Their thoughts on devilution are innovative (as I thought much of their "science" was), but they couldn't really test it. ...of course, I guess they could have thrown to animals together and tried to see if they would mesh, haha!
PZ... Leonidas... MAN BEARD OVERLOAD.
Head asplode.
Oh man, that's rad. Thanks PZ.
The entire series is excellent, but the last post, IMHO, deserves a Pharyngulanche....:

Yo PZ,
Thanks for the blog. Is there any way to make comments organized into threads/subjects? The posts that really catch fire could sure use it. I'm leaving this comment here so it has a chance of getting your attention...
Wait! I thought there'd be men in leather speedos...

Uh, PZ, Leonidas was a MAN who believed in defending his country.
Why are YOU referencing him?
