Man is a Religious Animal. Man is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion — several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.

Is there anything geekier than blogging from the prom? Come on out to St Paul for the party—Mary and I are the pair in lab coats, and yes, that is just a squid in my pocket.

Looks like fun. Hope you have fun. It looks like fun (though what is that thing in the bottom left of that picture?).
In the meantime, here's a comic some people might enjoy.

In the morning, get a glass of tomato juice, add one jigger of vodka (2 oz.) and sip in between queasy feelings. Your head will feel much better... when it quits hurting.

Aww, no live blogging? Surely you can text us some intriguing insights while waiting in line at the punch bowl. I wanna see!

High. I am a physician, having moved to MN last year. I have an obsession with evolutionary biology and I am a fan of Richard Dawkins. I should say that like minded people are not, well, easy to come by locally. I stumbled on your blog while surfing and I thought maybe we could share some ideas. I will appreciate it if you get back to me.
Thank you,
Hos

I Demand Photos! I doubt I'll be online tomorrow until after 7 pm central time (taking a field trip to look at some seacliff geology near San Francisco before it's wiped out by uber-rainy-spring landslides) so I expect a full suite of Geek Prom photos by that time. Your hangover has _got_ to be done before then.
BTW, was it a LIVE squid? If so, shame on you!

Dr. Hos,
Are you talkin' to PZ or to everyone else? If PZ, you hould send him an email at pzmyers@pharyngula.org . If everyone else - most of us get talking about that sort of thing out in the comment threads. If you're looking for more one-on-one interaction with everyone else, it might be helpful to leave contact information (like an email address). Good luck, sir, and welcome to Minnesota.
Mike

I must say that I would never have thought that Minnesota would be such a place for an event like this one ... stupid stereotypes ;)

And here I thought you were just happy to be at the prom. ;-)
