Not to mention the guy is a barbaric toss pot that has been shunned by the entire scientific comunity for his practices involved surgery on snakes with no anaesthesia.
This is the first time i have seen anyone actually use one of the names he proposed (which wasn't even submitted correctly, AFAIK) and i hope the last.
