Top Posts Over the Last Month

By emjohnson on December 15, 2009.

This week may be sporadic as I focus on my graduate work, so here are the top ten posts from November as chosen by readers:

#1 - I Am Extremely Terrified of Chinese People, But I'm Not Racist

This cracks me up, in more ways than one.

#2 - Reciprocity and the Anthropology of Organ Transplants

Thanks to the readers of Mental Floss who found this one of interest.

#3 - University of Illinois Graduate Students Vote to Strike

By the way, they won.

#4 - Breaking the Chain: Ardipithecus Is Not A Missing Link

This would have been my top choice, but what do I know?

#5 - The Gay Animal Kingdom Should Now Be Required Reading

Apparently people agreed with me.

#6 - I Got the Swine Flu Vaccine, Falling for Obama's Socialist Plot

Still alive, though it has been more difficult to type with these hooves I've developed.

#7 - Ray Comfort is a Half-Wit and a Libelous Scalawag

Add plagiarist to the mix as well.

#8 - Remember, Remember the Fifth of November

The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

#9 - The Darwin Reclamation Project

With a cast of nearly a hundred!

#10 - Friday Rant: "Militant" Atheists and Freedom From Religion

My first foray into ranting. Not a genre that comes comfortably to me, but keep encouraging me and we'll see.

How White are you? (Stuff White People Like)
A friend of mine emailed me that he scored a 21 out of 107 on the full list of Stuff White People Like. I thought it was a little tedious to count, so I wrote up a small script which counts it up for you via the checks you make. Below the fold.... */ #107 Self Aware Hip Hop References…
