In a comment to my previous post Jim West asked:

thanks tim. do you know by chance who captured the #1 spot [in the biblioblog rankings for August]?

1- a badger
2- a viper
3- the antichrist
4- the best of the best

This question deserves serious consideration, so I am promoting it to a post by itself.

Badger is the default FALSE answer so not 1.

Not 3, for none of the expected signs fit.

The intellectual snob in me doubts 4, because if I say that I’d have to claim that Wikipedia MUST be the best encylcopedia ever.

So I guess it must be 2 “a viper”, unless of course Jim West believes that Wikipedia (by far and away the most popular encyclopedia in the world) is the world’s best encyclopedia!
