Comments on: unAstronomy http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/12/14/unastronomy/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Uncyclopedia was spawned from 4chan as well (/vg/ is behind it, that's why it's more sophisticated than Dramatica which decidedly came from /b/)...

Maybe that's why my wife left me.

It would sort of make sense if human evolution is accelerating, because our environment is changing more rapidly than it's wont... and I'm not talking about AGW, I'm talking about basic lifestyles, urbanization, so on and so forth. Human evolution accelerating to try and catch up with environmental changes intentionally created by humans themselves... hmmm, no, still too inefficient. I welcome the day when we can cast off the weaknesses of meat and bone and drive our own evolution without having to worry overmuch about mundane animal things like eating. METAL IS BETTER THAN MEAT! ;) Hmmm.
