I recently found out that Richard Lenski of the eponymous long-term E.coli evolution experiment had a blog, and in it I found a correction I thought was relevant to the way those experiments are typically invoked as evidence in evolution/creationism debates:

I hope we'll all have the integrity to take this new information into account properly.

Did you look at the date? I suspect it's an April Fool. (Or did you identify it as an April Fool, and ran with it?)

 I did eventually figure it out but I'm embarrassed to admit which paragraph it was at.

I'd read the whole post before I figured it out. It didn't make sense, which caused me to look at the context.

 (also the previous post isn't at the same date but I also suspect isn't completely in earnest. I think maybe Richard Lenski might be a funny guy)
 (EDIT I'm keeping the previous parenthetical for integrity's sake but the previous post actually *is* at the same date. How am I such a, um, what's the term again, "hard-working student")
