Everyone should go say hello to our new scibling, Green Gabbro. What is this? Rocks? Next you'll tell me there are scientists who study clouds, or oceans, or flaming balls of gas.

Next you'll tell me there are scientists who study...flaming balls of gas.
Uh, given that you've written about nearly every creationist doofus of note, wouldn't you be considered one of those scientists?
Rocks you say?! Do you think she would know the answer to: "Can god create a rock so big, that even he cannot lift it over his head?"
I've already been over to let him know he needs more mammoths on his site.
Brownian, PZ studies flaming gasbags. The study of Great Balls of Fire is called musicology.

Huh. That's odd. Then why is it that they sent me to a public health nurse when I was afflicted with said condition?

I'd really never thought of Howard Stern as a scientist but, once you put it that way, I suppose I sort of can imagine him in a lab coat...
There are 'scientists' who study vapid gas. I'm serious....I read UD, you know?
;-)
Well, at least they aren't doing something as silly as studying the bones of dead dragons.
Oh, wait.
Ummm...
O/T, but important:

Phoenix Woman, PZ's got a thread on this from yesterday.
I know of a guy who studies flaming balls of gas who is one.
Gabbro is nice, green gabbro is even better: it is to creationists what
green Kryptonite is to superman, and perhaps we can hope that in this
context PZ is Mr Mxyztplk.
I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the media's lack of questions to the presidential candidates about global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be a bigger issue.
Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw an article describing each candidate's stance on global warming and climate change on earthlab.com http://www.earthlab.com/articles/PresidentialCandidates.aspx . So obviously they care about it. Is it the Medias fault for not asking the right questions or is it the candidates' fault for not highlighting the right platforms? Does anyone know of other websites or articles that touch on this subject and candidates' views? This is the biggest problem of the century and for generations to come...you would think the next president of the United States would be more vocal about it.
Pumbaa: Timon, ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?
Timon: Pumbaa, I don't wonder; I know.
Pumbaa: Oh. What are they?
Timon: They're fireflies. Fireflies that, uh... got stuck up on that big bluish-black thing.
Pumbaa: Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
Timon: Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas.
