A lot of hits on Framed have come recently from people Googling "classic crackpot," presumably a reference to the frivolous lawsuit brought by a kook named Stuart Pivar against Pharyngula publisher PZ Myers over Myers' hilariously skeptical review of Pivar's kooky book.
There are now dozens of links to stories about Pivar that are revealed whenever one Googles "classic crackpot." People like me who had never heard of Pivar before sure know who (and what) he is now.
And now there's some good news: according to PZ himself, Pivar has told a reporter that his lawyer is withdrawing the suit.
