The Best of Anthro Blogging 2008

Daniel over at Neuroanthropology has just posted his "Best of Anthro 2008" list. Check it out here. I managed to win the coveted award for "Best Use of a Playboy Cover." It wasn't easy, but I knew I could do it. You just gotta believe, kids, and your dreams will come true.

In all seriousness, thanks to Daniel for all the work he did putting that together. It's great to see all of the anthro bloggers putting their ideas, thoughts, and humor out there.
