It’s Monday. It’s cold. Everything is running a little slower and more reluctantly than usual. Let’s go with an easy question today; one that will warm us up a little bit.
Who is the sexiest skeptic alive?

Me.
Rebecca, of course. Haven’t you seen her picture?
James Randi? His beard rocks ;-)
I have a soft spot for Teller
My objectivity forces me to say it’s definitely the resident Hot Physics Poptart.
I would have to say Kirsten Sanford is the sexiest woman. The sexiest man has to be Steven Novella.
I guess.
Every female astronomer out there is tied for first.
Astronomy + Chik = hawt
After them, Amanda Peet.
Oh god, that’s a hard one. I going to have to go with Jaimie from the Mythbusters. Or Rebecca. I think it’s a tie.
@Mully410: WINNER.
I say that with all objectivity intact.
As for my vote, well . . . I lose all objectivity and can’t vote. If we rule out anyone I’m currently sweet on, and only go with people I’m not friends with, jeez, I guess . . . Hugh Laurie?
@mxracer652
*blushing* we’ll just go ahead and trust your objectivity lol :)
@phlebas: Yay Pamela Gay!
That rhymes, Marge, and you know it rhymes.
Bing McGhandi of Happy Jihad’s House of Pancakes. He’s anonymous and unpictured, but his writing makes me swoon. http://hjhop.blogspot.com/
I gotta say George Hrab.
I’m not gay or anything, but come on….I AM human!
Matt Dillahunty
Gonna go with either hotphysicsboy or myself. But why compete? I’m sure the skepchicks wouldn’t kick either of us out of bed. :p
Amanda Peet.
I’d say that girl right over . . . there.
Aside from you?
If fictional characters are allowed, Jodie Foster’s character in Contact.
@Zamboro
lol good point! thanks for the votes you guys- talk about a day booster! :)
@Konstanty: Oooh, good call. Jaimie from the Mythbusters is an excellent choice.
Mmmn.
You know the attractive one… The female…. The one that would sleep with me, I have to keep my high standards. What? Stop looking at me like that.
“thanks for the votes you guys- talk about a day booster!”
I’d make a photo of my awesome abs into an avatar, but that’s crossing a line for me. I’ll let Elyse vouch for their radness if she feels so inclined. (or any of the other skepchick she passed the picture to like a damn trading card. I feel so cheap. Damn you all.)
Wait, no: Michele Yeoh.
I’m not sure how skeptical she really is, but I’m sure it’s skeptical enough.
@Zamboro
lol- i’m a horny scientist- for me there is no line. well, either that or i passed it so long ago it might as well have never existed, sort of like stuff that happened before the big bang
1) George Hrab
2) Brian Dunning (sorry Brian, you’re hot, but George is superhuman)
Alright, I’ll get my Skepchick bias out of the way first…
1. Rebecca Watson.
2. Sam Ogden.
3. Me.
And now for my un-skepchick-biased opinion.
Obviously Phil Plait.
Oh crap. I just realised how many skeptics are bald and old enough to be my father. >.<
Well, I’m neither bald nor old enough to be Elles’s father, so I guess I’d have to rank pretty high. And have you seen my abs? They’re HUGE.
D.J. Grothe, no doubt!!
HA! I’m not sure what I was smokin’, but when I agreed with “Jamie from Mythbusters”, for some reason I was actually thinking of Kari!
Oops.
Nothing against Jamie. But, c’mon, Kari’s so much hotter…
I think I’ll go with Helen Mirren, with Jodie Foster as a close second.
@Some Canadian Skeptic: Have to agree with you there, it’s George Hrab all the way.
Also I have a huge soft spot for Steven Novella.
have we established that david tennant is a skeptic? i think we have.
so yeah…david tennant.
@Zamboro: Aw, it’s okay, we like you for your mind, too, really! (Of course, that’s what we tell all of our sexy minions.)
It’s a tossup between Teller and Stephen Fry.
Yes, really. I have a thing for Mr. Fry’s voice. *sigh*
Which reminds me of the time when D.J. Grothe took me and my other fifteen year old friend and a few other college students to see Dark Knight at a showing that got out at 3:30 am.
When he started driving us back he turned to me and said “make sure your mother knows that I’m gay. I don’t want her getting the wrong impression about me taking fifteen year-old girls to movie theaters at 4:00 in the morning.”
Can I change “sexiest” to “cutest” and vote for your darling boy, Moose??
Stacey, definitely.
HA! I definitely read it first as : “Who is the SEXIST skeptic?”
…which 1) is just bad grammar and 2) made me think really hard to come up with something. I’m so glad I was wrong.
I’m not sure who is the sexiest, honestly. Hotphysicsboy is definitely hot as hell….speaking of which:
@hotphysicsboy:
When you were talking about the big bang, you were using that as a metaphor, right? *grin*
Female: me
Male: Teller
@TheSkepticalMale: No way, TheSkepticalMale is definitely the sexiest.
@Stacey:That means a lot to me … Especially since I opt to keep my shirt on in my avatar.
@TheSkepticalMale: Too bad…the only reason you got my vote is because I’ve seen you without your shirt.
@Stacey: Oh, man … And I thought you loved me for my mind.
I’d say Keri from MythBusters, Scottie is pretty sexy too.
Me.
DUH!!!
Well if it’s female skeptics, my vote is for Rebecca. <_<
Beaker from the Muppets. I have just decided this.
(aw, come on, you know he’s gotta be a skeptic).
Definitely Steven Novella
I had listened to the SGU for a while before I first saw Rebecca (on YouTube). I had convinced myself she couldn’t be sexy, just to save myself the potential disappointment. I was totally wrong.
I can’t avoid giving at least half a vote to Kari, though. My DVR gets a workout during most Mythbusters episodes. Somebody should edit together all the 3-second shots where she’s doing or wearing something particularly hot.
I’m glad to see Steven Novella on the list, but if the women were voting on looks, wouldn’t Bob and Jay get more votes? I think Jay’s a very good-looking guy.
And I’ve never actually seen George Hrab, but based on his SGU interview, if I were gay he’d be near the top of my list.
The picture of Ann Druyan on the back of “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors” is very attractive. Being Carl Sagan’s widow and co-author gives her massive extra credit.
And here I thought I was the only one with a crush on Teller.
@Elles: That’s a great story! I heart DJ.
@nighean_ruaidhe
you = awesome. and yes i’m glad you were able to read between the lines on that one :)
Hmmm, I’m split between Teller and Adam Savage.
Yea, put me in the Kari camp, I’ve always been a sucker for red-heads :p
Drew Barrymore! I’m can’t actually find a reference for her being “godless”, but both her directorial work and the comments I’ve heard from her strongly suggest she at least qualifies as a “skeptic”!
For the ladies (and gays), I’ll nominate Bruce Schneier.
My partner, of course. ;-)
Matt Damon. And Kari.
@carr2d2: I second that motion! :D
David Tennant DID utterly abuse Catherine Tate about her love of astrology! Ah …the Doctor Who series 4 withdrawal symptoms… they hurt!
I have to say everyone in the 2009 skepchick calender is pretty sexy. And I can’t believe I forgot rebecca.
My vote’s for George Hrab.
Well, hottest Skepchicks are: hotphysicsboy, TheSkepticalMale (‘cuz he’s local and I don’t know of anyone else in Phoenix!) and of course Jessica.
Oh, hell, you’re all hot.
Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). And there’s NO doubt she *knows* what she’s talking about.
@TomDG: Yes yes on Kari Byron! The hottest woman on televison…
