With Phil Plait getting his own TV show this weekend, look for new homages ... but why would anyone want to be bad? I am not sure, though when you make something popular people will copy it, often for the best of reasons.
We even had a Bad Archaeology here years ago, for an article anyway. Will we now change our name to Bad Science 2.0? We don't like Phil that much.
The newest, Bad Agronomy, is on blogger, so it may be gone within days (or off to Scienceblogs.com, since they are doing some rebuilding, at least until Bora goes back and recruits for them) but a bad horticulturist is at least worth a chuckle and a link.
So go learn why putting sugar on your lawn is just as effective as throwing corn chips into Lake Michigan.
