Information foraging among anthropologists in the invisible college of human behavioral ecology: An author co-citation analysis. Ph.D. dissertation, Indiana University.)

This is almost as good as when Ben & Jerry combined their chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with their fudge brownie ice cream. Almost as good -- Half Baked™ is hard to match.
