Your Vote Is Needed - that goes for the usual suspects and even
our current crowd of net-loons... nobody wants PZ to go nekkid.

Vote for Pharyngula as The Best Science Blog - the Bad Astronomy
guy (Phil) was just a few votes behind (298 to 309) a moment ago.

A panda walks into a cafe and orders a sandwich. After the panda has
eaten his meal, he takes out a gun and shoots several holes in the
ceiling. As the panda begins to leave, the waiter cries out, "What was
that for?" in regard to the shootings. The panda tosses a wildlife
guide to the waiter. The waiter reads the guide, and it says, "Panda.
Black-and-white mammal native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
The Australian (Koala) version is just a bit, er.... rude.
I'll leave it to one of the other aussies to explain.
(Hint... rhymes with "shoots".)

Vote for Bad Astronomy! Don't let the cephalopodofascists win!
My name is Phil Plait, and I approve this post.

Look at that negative campaigning: are you really going to let
someone who so patently flaunts his chordatecentric bigotry
represent the science blogosphere? Nay, I say. We must support
biodiversity.
Reach out with your pili, your tentacles, your claws, your ciliary
bands, and vote PZ Myers. Vote for the *entire* biosphere, not just
Phil Plait's tiny, unrepresentative, and hateful part of it.
Vote now.

Geez, I had enough of this in November!
Philip Plait put shower photos on his Web site.*
So...
I think I don't want to see any Web page that either of you is offering
right now :-)
* There was a water stain in the shape of Lenin's face, I think.
Connection to astronomy - the Face on Mars. Not the one that looks
like a " :-) ", although why not that too?
Eeew. The prospect of either an unclad Phil or Paul ...
Put it on! Put it on!
Sounds like sufficient reason to vote for realclimate. They,
as far as I know, have not threatened to blind us and our
grossly mis-wired vertebrate eyes.

You need to know the colloquial meaning of "roots" here for it to make
sense.

It has nothing to do with chordates or cephalopods. It's a culture war
between the decimalists and the octomalists. Powers of two rule!

I think you just told us...
Then all you need is to hear that a Wombat in Australian culture is one
who eat, roots, shoots, and leaves...
I have a friend from Oz. He asked what the cheerleaders did at the
University of Wisconsin. He was told that they rooted for the Badgers.
He fell about the place.
We sometimes watch American sports commentators for the same peurile
joke...
Yes, yes, PZ.
Sad how low Panda's Thumb has fallen.
And the duodecimalists? Not to mention the roman-numeralists and
others opposed to the tyranny of base-exponential systems!

The astronomy crowd are catching up - probably because they

I refuse to vote for top-posters.
I forget, is he the pro-chordate or the anti-chordate candidate.
He's spineless, I can tell you that. Pandering to the molluscan hegemony
like that.

He's *not* the one with the oversized eyeglasses, trying to look for
rocks and balls of ice in the night sky, nor does he care if dwarf
planets are really homes for dwarfs or not
