What ERV really stands for
There’s a site on the internet where they have a whole bunch of science blogs. Sometimes the bloggers there disagree about things, and sometimes these disagreements turn heated… the type of “heated” that you’d expect from people who work in a high-energy physics lab. And personally, I think that’s okay.
To misappropriate a phrase from Rick Mercer, every pissed-off blogger we get on the interweb brings us one step closer to the meaning of life. When you have a bunch of talented people from different fields talking about important things the resultant sparks are bound to be illuminating. Or at least entertaining. If not for the scienceblogwars, I would never have learned the phrase “cockweasel douchenozzle”.
Note that most of the bloggers pictured in the third panel above have wisely stayed out of the ruckus. I just wanted to include all the ones I read on a regular basis… and still didn’t manage to get everybody in.

The fact that only ScienceBloggers have commented so far is pretty frickin’ special

LOL. Awesome. . . if someone had only told me Sb was a professional wrestling establishment. It explains so much in retrospect!

Love it! Especially the whole sleek, muscle-ly, comic book/professional wrester style of it all!

That would be Chris Hoofnagle of Denialism. Now we know who started all this mess!!!

He’ll deny it, of course. And claim you’re a Coke shill.
