Jeez, this badge could be named after me….
Yeah… I think this pretty much defines my on-going love/hate relationship with the Pern fandom, and general hate-on of 90% of the fans.
I have inadvertantly convinced friends to study science in college only for them to find out they hate science later.
The words “Actually, the species name isn’t capitalized.” have come out of my mouth before I could stop them. More than once! What a jerk!
True true.
To paraphrase New Scientist & Prof. Dawkins, I think science is interesting, and if you disagree… you can fuck off.
Catherine,
Actually, the specific epithet isn’t capitalized…the first part of the species name is the Genus, and IS capitalized.
I think I just earned Level II. Call me “superjerk.”
At times, I have discussed evolutionary theory with my friends. The discussions typically go like this. Me: This is what it says.” “No it isn’t.” “But this is a direct quotation.” “I don’t care.” “… FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU”
