Random Quote
(Complete listing)These gods did not even know the shape of the worlds they had created, but supposed them perfectly flat. Some thought the day could be lengthened by stopping the sun, that the blowing of horns could throw down the walls of a city, and all knew so little of the real nature of the people they had created, that they commanded the people to love them. Some were so ignorant as to suppose that man could believe just as he might desire, or as they might command, and that to be governed by observation, reason, and experience was a most foul and damning sin. None of these gods could give a true account of the creation of this little earth. All were woefully deficient in geology and astronomy. As a rule, they were most miserable legislators, and as executives, they were far inferior to the average of American presidents.
[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]

I humbly give credit to the magic of low-turnout elections.
P.S.: There is a hinky link in Scott's endorsement, for which I am quite grateful (for the endorsement, I mean).

I raise my bottle of Fresca in a toast to Z. and B. :-)

I am truly and deeply honoured (and a little overwhelmed.)
Am I the first Canadian to be inducted into the Order? If so, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to all of you for Céline Dion.
And congratulations to Zeno. Well done!
Thank you.

Congrats you two!
Thanks Brownian for the apology.
Celine almost causes me convulsions when I hear her voice.

Congratulations and welcome to you both!

Brownian emotion?

Particularly pleasurable prize-winners. Prosit!

If someone gave Torbjörn a little tap on the side of the head, would it get him out of alliteration mode? He's stuck!
(Thanks, Torbjörn.)

Congratulations Brownian and Zeno! Very well-deserved. I love reading your comments.

I don't say much, but I did want to congratulate you both - as much as I like PZ, the commenters really 'add to the experience' around here.
Do your significant others believe you have groupies?
Posted by: Zeno | August 21, 2007 9:58 AM
Not a problem! [Link]

Groupies? Is there the Pharyngulan equivalent of backstage somewhere I should be aware of?
