He didn't say what this 'citizen scientist' goofball is saying he said.

I was not aware they were there.

Let's lock the audience members in an airtight room and let them be the first to enjoy the benefits of his plan. He can stand in there with them and open the vial, effing nutjob.

6. People! This is a MISQUOTE! |
|
This was reported by Forrest Mims, a creationist nutjob and anti-evolutionary biologist. This is Drudge applied to science! Don't pay attention to it! Pianka is the father of evolutionary biology, not a wacko trying to kill off the world!

It just seems there's a lot of people eager to believe in the mad scientist consiracy theory.

11. Hey, I appreciate the insite.... |
|
...with the million-and-a-half things I try to keep up with on a daily basis, Pianka fell off my radar screen. That's why we're all here. Many minds work better than one.

8. For cryin' out loud, this is a Drudge Report-generated smear campaign. |
|
Please do your homework. The only story here is that the Creationists have perpetuated a campaign of fear against scientists and academic freedom. Dr. Pianka has been innundated with death threats, due entirely to Mims' tabloid-style reporting of Pianka's TAS speech.

12. Again, I apologize for posting this. |

I saw it reported on a non-political website I frequent (a gaming one actually, 1up.com), and fearing that it might not quite be at "GD level" (though, in retrospect, this seems a bit silly) posted it here. I should have checked the facts to a greater degree, as I did after posting this, and found a much different story. Personally, I would like to see a transcript released before I make a full judgement on this.

13. Yeah, apparently this is Drudge and the right-wing trying smear tactics |
|
According to the biologist, none of the above story is true.
