Has the respected science publication New Scientist really used the headline ‘The Cod Delusion’ in a story about overfishing? Yes. Yes it has.
More impressively, one commenter has even managed to find it blasphemous. Somebody is either a member of a fish-based religion of which I was previously unaware, or has decided to take on the Sisyphean mission of attempting to take offense at any oblique reference to Richard Dawkins that is made on the Internet, in any context, for the rest of time. Good luck to that man.
It’s time I stopped lurking in my feed reader and tell you how much I enjoy reading this blog. I really do! Your sense of humour is right up my street. Please keep it up. Manchester’s loss is Oxford’s gain!
@Mark: Thanks very much! I’m glad you like it, and it’s always nice to hear somebody say so.
I’m going to tell Oxford to stop taking me for granted and to treat me with a bit more respect in the future, as Manchester will take me back any time I want.
