Bleh…it's been a too-busy day, and I've got very early morning travel to do, so here's something easy and mindless before I go to bed: make a lego version of yourself!
Man, I really gotta get a haircut soon.

Bummer. I was hoping they'd have a book you could hold and edit. You know, so you could put the holy scientological islamic bible in your other hand or something....

Maybe now you can make a cameo appearance in the Brick Testament, perhaps as an unbeliever whom Jehovah smites.

Yah! A brick testament!
Oh, I'll go make mine now, without viable link.

So if you were turning in early, why didn't you lego of the cup?
I see a hint of caffeine addiction...

Are you in a bank, PZ?

PZ, have you been talking to that bedhead Carl Zimmer recently?

I've been working on a theory that coffee was the primordial soup out of which all life arose. And, PZ, I'm fixin' to cite your post as evidence.

What, no eyepatch?

I dunno about this lego thing.. the picture above seems inaccurate. Obviously, PZ is ten feet tall, wears an eyepatch, breathes fire, and controls a horde of fearsome dragons. I see none of these "minor details" in the above picture.
IN FACT: I would go so far as to say this entire post is a fabrication by the christian right (propagated in much the same manner as the outrageous liberal myth of "the moon"), designed to make PZ look less fearsome. Fear not, fellow blog-goers! We know the /real/ PZ.

Lego always make people look squat and overweight! Squid are notorously difficult to Lego-ize, though.
