Comments on: Fark bait http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/08/26/fark-bait/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Regarding annoying acronymisation in general, I once waded through a page of comments wondering why the commenters were so excited, in a rather dry discussion of a legal question, to announce their fondness for a particular sexual act. I honestly thought it was some sort of IMSPARTACUS in support of someone, for a reason I couldn't fathom. This makes me officially old. IAOO!
