10,000 Comments!

I am pleased to report that Jim's comment in the big Creation Museum post is the 10,000th comment left at this blog since the jump to ScienceBlogs. As always, many thanks to all the folks who have stopped by to offer their thoughts!

Dr. Isis made the 10,000th comment here on Aard earlier today! Flatteringly, she said that I had made half the women on the Internet lose their shit. I simply know not my own strength. It took two years and almost ten months to get to 10,000. As her prize, I hereby offer to call the good doctor…
He seems a bit peevish. He now has a blog post up complaining about me and my "inaccuracies". His complaints are amusingly petty. I object to the lies at the very heart of his "museum", and he thinks he is rebutting me by whining over petty details. For instance, he quotes me as regarding the idea…
A fellow named Jim Prall left a comment here a few days ago mentioning some work he has recently done compiling information on the contributing authors of the most recent IPCC WG1 report. I went to have a look and I must say what a terrific resource! It is a common septic fallacy that the IPCC…
I'm not sure exactly how, but somewhere between the lemurs, the books, the dinners, and the ridiculously short sleep sessions that I encountered at Science Online, I managed to learn quite a bit from many of those science writers to whose level of awesomeness I aspire, and am consequently left…

FANTASTIC !!!
I am waiting with bated breath for my prize to show up at my front door ... I hope it's something good.

Jason, I visit many blogs, but I only comment on those few that I consider to be the very best. Your's fits the bill. Keep up the great work.

I am waiting with bated breath for my prize to show up at my front door ... I hope it's something good.

Probably either a car or a goat. How many front doors do you have?

MartinM-
Either would be fine. I can sell a car & goats are delicious.

Jason-
I meant to express congratulations.

Thanks for all the kind words. And Jim, thanks for making my 10,000th comment such a good one.

" dinosaurs traveled on Noah's Ark"
I just copied this from the report on the museum. I have been a born again Christian 30 years come this June. I don't know if that just put a bulls-eye on my back or not. Here is a solid vote for Not!LOL!
I never heard anyone postulate that the dinosaurs were on the ark with Noah. It would put a cramp in the idea of a cubit being such a small measurement! LOL!
My 3 decades of trying to walk with God have taught me to try to be nice! And considerate of every one's feelings. The old, do unto others as you would have them do unto you!
I am sorry some people got upset about the museum. I always try to see the good in and from things. Helping out the economy has to be good, and if people get upset about it maybe they can just figure if they had a freak show there it would help the economy too?
I am a Christian who believes in the Big Bang and all the latest cosmological theories and most of the abstract and conceptional theories that are in vogue.
I believe there is no denying the beauty and elegance of so many scientific disciplines! Physics, chemistry, mathematics and on and on...
