http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Steve
Project Steve is a list of scientists with the name Stephen or a variation thereof (e.g., Stephanie, Stefan, Esteban, etc.) who "support evolution". It is produced by the National Center for Science Education as a "tongue-in-cheek parody" of creationist attempts to collect a list of scientists who "doubt evolution", poking fun at such endeavors in a "light-hearted" manner to make it clear that "We did not wish to mislead the public into thinking that scientific issues are decided by who has the longer list of scientists!"[1] However, at the same time the project is a genuine collection of scientists, and despite its restriction to only scientists with names like "Steve", which the organizers claim restricts the list to roughly 1% of the total population[2], it is longer and contains many more eminent scientists (and in particular biologists) than any creationist list.
