The ranking criteria go like this: “The Biblioblog Top 50 is a listing of the top 50 Biblical Studies blogs, chosen according to the utterly subjective criteria of sexy style, stimulating content, timely dissemination, regularity, discernment, scholarly depth, innovation, and pazang.”

I would really love to see biblical scholars try out pick up lines at a bar. That was what was missing from my SBL experience.
