PZ has been dealing with the idiocy that is Scott Adams of Dilbert "fame". (The last word is in scare quotes because, frankly, I don't find Dilbert funny. At all. Never have. Never will.) And what is worse, PZ's had to deal with the apparent apostles of Adams who seem to think that a cartoonist like Adams either has something important to say
on science (not the case) or is being humorous (yeah, right). In any case, someone called "Bronze Dog" has wonderfully parodied Adams stupidity.
The full strip is here.
Update: Dagnabbit. PZ had posted this already! Beaten by the squidmeister.

I'm a fan of the Volokh Conspiracy, the group legal blog that features some excellent thinkers, but today's edition has an odd juxtaposition. First, Juan Non-Volokh (who recently announced he would not be blogging anonymously much longer, as I recall) posted an endorsement of Charles Krauthammer's…
I have to confess to being amused to no end by the reaction to my tsunami post on ARN's message boards. They've all got their panties in a bunch because of how horribly insensitive I am, though I frankly think this outrage is entirely fake. It's just easier to focus on that rather than on the…
We went round and round on this well over a year ago. Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, wrote a shallow and ignorant argument that sort of shilly-shallied over a pro-creationist argument; I pointed out how stupid his reasoning was. The response was insane; criticize Adams, and his horde of Dilbert fans…
A couple days ago, I received an email from a correspondent named Nick, a man I've encountered in a political chat room before as well. He's one of those really hardcore religious right types who, as you will see, absolutely glories in his ignorance, and he was bound and determined to "educate" me…
Dilbert was funny in the 1980s. You may not remember that far back. The Prince of Insufficient Light and Mordack, Preventer of Information Services were drawn from life. The poor sod, however, now has to rely on his imagination and intelligence.
And yeah, PZ Mangrove-Luxury Yacht always manages to gazump us. But one day, when he's not looking, I'll sneak up from behind and steal his RSS feed, and delete his copy.
I still get my amusement out of it. Unfortunately, outside the business world, Scott apparently commits all the PHBisms he pokes fun at.
