I've been informed by Greta Christina that I've been beaten to the punch: the best title ever is already taken.
Happiness Is a Squishy Cephalopod(amzn/b&n/abe/pwll).
It's so true, and I'm going to have to pick up a copy of that one.

I'd never come across this delightful little comic strip. I'm hooked now (even without the squishy cephalopod).
Very left field comic :-)
I expect a pirate of your stature to take it right back, Mr Myers.
Or at least wave a hook threateningly at Mark Tatulli. After all, who can be afraid of a male self-professed "stay-at-home-stripper"? As long as he keeps his clothes on, I mean.
Lio is awesome.
I got the book the other day.

This takes the little credibility he had after you trounced his book and flushes it down the toilet. In science(I hope) what you would do is defend your book against criticism. If he couldn't do that he could just ignore it. He might be angry and want revenge on you for destroying what he consider revolutionary ideas. Also he might just want publicity for his book and suing a prominent atheist blogger and scientist in the current marketing Zeitgeist(atheism sells) is shrewd.
