A Note About Google Ads
Google Ads seems to place the most obnoxious ads at the top of my blog. When I write a few posts about how acupuncture has been demonstrated not to work, it places an advertisement for acupuncture. When I write about creationist frauds, it puts up ads for creationist books (or more recently, for creationist movies).
I don't endorse these products. In many cases, I think it likely that the marketers are not only mistaken, but frauds.
I thought about taking these ads down, but instead, I'm leaving them there. I'm considering them an anthropology experiment for me, and my readers. It's a fascinating world out there. Feel free to comment on the ads and the products they are selling in the relevant posts.

I enjoy the irony that people like Ben Stein and Gary Null will be paying me to take Mrs. Factician out for a nice dinner (at current click rates, about once every 18 months).

About Me
- The Factician
- I'm fascinated with how people find conspiracies in every science situation that disagrees with their previously held prejudices. Be that global warming, evolution by natural selection, or the moon landing. I'll be posting on science, politics, and things that amuse me.

35 here. "Not a nerd, but definitely not hip"
Sort of what I expected. But there is more than one kind of nerd, and while I don't rank very high in the technology category or the "high school behavior" category (I'm 35 years past that), I think I'm pretty nerdy in sitting around Friday nights reading the latest Daniel Dennett or Steven Pinker book.
It's just another day in paradise.
Ye-f'ing-ha! I scored 93%... I have to agree with the first comment, the older you are the more the test skews towards nerdy. I'm 35. My Friday nights involve playing with my kids, then, after they're are asleep, watching a NetFlix movie. As an IT professional, I kind of have to know the tech stuff to stay employed. Also, after seeing the same picture of Issac Newton so many time in a life time, it kind of sinks in, permanently.
That brings up a question... who was the other guy they had a picture of? Newton I knew and the other guy looked kind of familar and I could have guessed (I had it pretty well narrowed down), but just admitted I didn't know.
Yeah, I got that one wrong, too. I don't know who that guy is.
