Man, I gotta get me a can of this stuff:
That would be really useful in June!

What happened to Bad Astronomy???
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

Death from the Skies!
Order a copy of Death from the Skies! from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Borders.
"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"
-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
-- Daniel H. Wilson, author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising -

Or it could be useful in November during the elections..

Doesn’t just standard pepperspray work on PZ? It works on most people who have eyes. Wait, is he a human? If not that could make it more difficult

I know a few people who might buy a case…
That’s a pretty amusing site. Then I went back and read the first comic and my brain broke. Still funny though…

Or just use PZ-Cleaner. It removes the vulgarities and leaves behind the rational thinking.

Why wouldn’t squid ink serve to confuse other squids? Fight water with water, I say!
Btw, you might want to load up with squid repellent:
Yep, that’s PZ to a z.

You could also buy a can of ‘whoop-ass’.
I’m sticking with Ubik (TM):
But what is Ubik? I hear you ask…

Drbuzz0 you have point maybe PZ is highly evolved squid in a human suit. Well I will not in Vegas in June so I do not have to worry.

Hey, don’t laugh. That stuff works. Nothing clears a room of intelligent people faster! In fact, the Bush administration has been using it since 2001.

So that is what they been using, hopefully it wears off after 8 years.

However, it won’t help you recognize Dawkins. Just ask the Expelled crew. Maybe they’ll try to file a lawsuit under these consumer protection laws, if their friends in the WH have left any intact.

Well it does have the disclaimer (in small print) “May not work on their family and friends, or biologists with British accents” so they are covered as far as not repelling Dawkins.
Which brings up the question - what does the product do if PZ picks up a British accent?
March 31st, 2008 at 9:32 pm
They wouldn’t read a disclaimer! It probably looks too intelligent, or something. It’s more intelligence than is allowed, in any case.

U r Ubik’s Cube, movz laik that?

Completely unreleated, but I was throwing out a bunch of junk in my room, and came across an old wired magazine where a completely spaced out writer tried to give as much crediblity to Richard Hogland as he did to you.
Man that was a completley whacked out article.
