Re: Dr Adequate on the Post-Anal Gut
The good Dr desereves a nomination for a whole string of recent posts. The one you mention is a fine example of the quality of his efforts of late.

And Now For Something Completely Different
Most POTM nominations are well thoughout gems of information, rebutal with fact and attribution, debate at its pinnacle. I would like to give kudos to something a wee bit different. For a well deserved kick in the teeth this is both subtle and effective. Poster: Modulous Thread: Kinds are not relatedMessage: Message 63

Re: Modulous, at "How does one distinguish faith from delusion?"
Hi, Guys. Fourthing the nomination sounds a little like overkill... So naturally, I'm going to do it.
-Bluejay (a.k.a. Mantis, Thylacosmilus) Darwin loves you.

Stragler & Rrhain, on the funding and operations of the BBC, PBS and NPR
Author: Stragler and Rrhain Forum: Coffee House Thread: Latent racism in the republican party? Message #: 16 and upthread Message 16 is Rrhain's summary about PBS (the Public Broadcasting System) and NPR (Nation Public Radio), the U.S. public television and radio networks. There is also other PBS/NPR stuff upthread. Stragler's comments on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) can be found in 2 or more messages uptread. There are also other nice contributions by other member(s). We might need a topic title change, as the above cited themes rather dominate the topic. Moose Professor, geology, Whatsamatta U Evolution - Changes in the environment, caused by the interactions of the components of the environment. "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer." - Bruce Graham "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith "Yesterday on Fox News, commentator Glenn Beck said that he believes President Obama is a racist. To be fair, every time you watch Glenn Beck, it does get a little easier to hate white people." - Conan O'Brien "I know a little about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things, but I'm highly ignorant about everything." - Moose

Re: Stragler & Rrhain, on the funding and operations of the BBC, PBS and NPR
Whilst I appreciate the nominal mention there can be little doubt here whose post really gets the nomination. See Rrhain's answers here - Message 16 Just about the most comprehensively answered set of questions I think I have ever asked. Quality.

Rahvin clears the air on Atheist attitudes
It's always nice to witness someone showing the elephant in the room to actually be the aircraft carrier in the match box. Author: Rahvin Forum: Social Issues and Creation/Evolution Thread: Atheist attitudes. Message #: Message 10 I was starting to wonder how much effort I was willing to spend on saying what I wanted to scream at such a topic. After reading Rahvin's post, it's clear that any response from myself is no longer necessary. I know I wouldn't have been able to say it nearly as well.

Modulus # 9 in Supernatural Thread
I nominate Message 9 by Modulus as a lovely, concise, and accurate history of the evolution of Spookistry. What's more, it shows clearly the long tradition of avoidance survival for the religious ignorant. Jon [O]ur tiny half-kilogram rock just compeltely fucked up our starship. - Rahvin
