DEPARTMENT OF SELF-PROMOTION (aka Tooting My Own Horn) — by Steve Nadis
It’s not often I do two posts in the same day. On the other hand, it’s not often that I (or anyone else for that matter) gets called “the chief holy grail hunter in all of science,” which is how I was described on today’s Improbable Research site (see link on right). As the editor of that site, as well as the editor of the renowned journal, The Annals of Improbable Research, put it (talking again about ME, as in yours truly): “Years ago, he began a relentless quest to find and document all the holy grails pursued by all the scientists everywhere. His latest collection, fixating on astronomy’s holy grails, appears in the May/June issue of the Annals of Improbable Research.” Part of that article appears online at: www.improbable.com. OK, now I’m going to stop bragging about myself and start bragging about you–a very supportive bunch, as has lately emerged, and full of insightful comments. Keep up the good work!
P.S. Please ignore that last post, “Somethin’ Fishy” (I believe it was called), as well as its predecessor, “Something About Tuesday” (or something like that), as I’ve since concluded the blog stats I was writing about are indeed bogus. Most would not have mentioned it, but I am bound here to a higher authority, that being the truth. You’ve come to expect of me no less. And I of you.

You might be surprised about the number of pageviews, but I’m sure there are others like me who came upon your blog quite by accident - and return often to look for more quips and wisdom!
Thank you Daphne for your kind remark, which was extremely nice to hear. Nevertheless I now know that reports of 200-plus pageviews were greatly exaggerated. (Confirmed, in fact, by tech support as a “glitch.” Ooh, that hurt!)
YEAH ,,, ME MYSELF AND I
WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
TO RHYME ,,
……….with “SNAKE IN THE GRASS”
and boy , did we catch one by the tail.
……..dont worry ,, your blog shines
very far away ,, except of course in winter
when there’s no grass,,
YOU DO ROCK’S RIGHT,,?
………..i mean under them right..?
Thanks Z. You are a poet in the E.E. Cummings mold…
Snake, PLEASE, Snake. It’s “e e cummings”
(Come to think of it, I always found that name quite se.. …ahhh, Never mind.)
P.S: D’ya think U inadverdantly used a “hot” phrase in the post last week that could of tossed your homepage onto a Google search-results list? Maybe a phrase involving sex or violence? THAT woulda had ‘em droppin’ in like bat dung!
I think you should expect a windfall of hits after that rather risque’ post on support. I imagine it will draw a rather diverse crowd.
Thanks for the correction, marco polo, & for the comment, WFW.
Good article Snake. And here’s hoping you succeed in your quest for the “Holy Grail” of supporters.
Thanks Doc; you read my mind. How did you know that the Holy Grail of Athletic Supporters was next on my list?
Your blog have a good sense of humor,i guess so do you.
