Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of my favorite astrophysicists. He can make the most complex concepts simple to understand, and he's fun to listen to. While browsing his website I came across this gem, and wondered what &T would think. It's a bit of a long read so you impatient types may want to skip down about three quarters of the page to where he discusses "stupid design".

That was a good find! I enjoyed reading it.

Not just authors, either - most of humanity.

At first glance I read "Mike Tyson." I was expecting hilarity to ensue.
