Woohoo! Another meaningless poll to pharyngulate. Currently it's 60% NO.

Pharyngula

A staggeringly popular biology blog that keeps a running public list of its killfile inhabitants

While one of the most egregious offenses that can be perpetrated by its commenters is “wanking”, readers/supporters of this blog seem to be unaware of the fact Pharyngula, itself, is one big wank fest.

Buddy was thinking about trolling Pharyngula in an effort to make it on to the "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" killfile list but was worried that his neck would hurt from all the cringing caused by reading the self-congratulatory, half-witted, smarmy retorts.
