So Phil "the Bad Astronomer" Plait, author of the blog Bad Astronomy and latterly president of the JREF, is big in skepticism and a great guy... but also an utter nerd. And, it turns out, so are his fans. My evidence? (Apart from the obvious). Well, Phil has a new book coming out, Death from the Skies, which I added to my Amazon.com Wish List. And what did I find soon afterwards while browsing through my recommendations (generated using collaborative filtering) on Amazon?
