John Lynch was wondering what posts of his over the past year have received the most hits; What do people link to and what do they comment on? The "top twenty" posts can be characterized into three major categories: "anti-science" had 10 posts whilst posts about religion, atheism and/or Dawkins' had 8 posts.
This really boils down to issues relating to science and religion, with only two other topics (the backscatter x-ray being used at airports ["airport porn"] and a strange beastie in Maine) appearing in the top 20 list.
John found that controversy, it appears, is popular, certainly more so than scientific stories.
