I've been a regular reader of evolutionblog for some years now but I think Jason has absolutely outdone himself with this outrageous posting following his well deserved tenure approval http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/2008/05/what_i_really_think.php.
If the post wasn't funny enough, the comments are hysterical.
Apparently this is an example of Poe’s law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe
which predicts that no matter how absurd a spoof, some folks will fall for it.
Top work Jason, the comments are a reminder that we have nearly as many cranks, suckers and humourless bores within the ranks of the so called rationalists as without.
