The worst insult known to man (real men, anyway)

Last week I was listening to Science Friday on NPR, where they were interviewing the totally amazing Maria Popova.  I had no idea who Maria Popova was at the time, nor why she is so amazing, but was quickly convinced.  (The interview is available here, Ms Popova's site is brainpickings.org, and if you never return to this blog after clicking that second link, I will understand.)  For the uninitiated, Maria Popova could be described as a super-blogger, though she calls herself an "arbiter of interestingness", and the important takeaway from the interview, for me, was that she posts on her blog three times per day, not pictures of kittens, either, as you'll see if you click through.  It's insane.

Now, spite and envy have always had a place in my toolbox of motivations, so I was inspired to start posting to my blog again, in hopes of emulating Maria's success.  I may, however already be behind, given that it's taken me five days to write this one post.

Whatever, click through to find out what the worst insult known to man is.
