It's also been used on the Skeptic Zone podcast by Dr Rachie, and elsewhere. I've seen it ont he JREF forums and in comments on PZ Myers' site. JzG (talk) 17:55, 1 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Let's see:
 * the only result for the JREF forums is a 2008 thread about the SbM post
 * there are no results for the new Pharyngula, nor for FtB in general
 * there are around 30 results for ScienceBlogs. It appears to be used occasionally by Orac, and a few times by his commenters. (Anyone looking for "skepdirt" can look at this comment thread, where he calls Myers and Dawkins shruggies. The scandal!)--ZooGuard (talk) 19:20, 1 January 2013 (UTC)


 * So I have fallen for the fallacy of misleading vividness (i.e. it crops up in my timelines more often than anyone else's). Let me just try not to care. JzG (talk) 21:33, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
