The churches beg — and if we don't give them money, why, they take it anyway, forcibly, by means of this unjust state tax exemption.

It's a conspiracy!

Posted on: March 9, 2008 2:24 PM, by PZ Myers

So a guy gets a little older, and what happens? All these people try to draw attention to my age, largely with a collection of photoshopped pictures of yours truly. Don't they know I'm funny-looking enough that no photoshop is necessary?

By the way, I got a nice present from my family: a new, ergonomic Cephalopod Throne. You'll be reassured to know that now, when I fling thunderbolts of furious vituperation about the web, I shall be doing so with excellent posture.

Aren't you 39 years old?

Jebus, PZ, I think they like you! Happy getting-old-and-gray day.

Man, I wish I had a Cephalopod Throne...

Happy birthday, PZ!

Uh, PZ, they're trying to hide your many problems with the photoshopping...

Happy birthday!

Perhaps unrelated, perhaps not: in the NY Times today, there is a picture of Oliver Sacks wearing a "Welcome Squid Overlords" t-shirt.

Happy birthday, PZ. :) Here's hoping you have many years of harassing those poor, poor religious-types before you.

This is all a ruse. Don't you know PZ's birthday is a giant ploy for him to get more readers at this blog?

Don't fall into the trap his parents laid so many years ago.

Rest assured I will never, never taunt you on your age. I'm just 2 months older than you are, and that pretty much eliminates both name-calling options (fogy vs. baby).

If we cannot mock our High Priest Of The Unholy Church Of Atheism, who can we mock?

Enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday, Professor!!

(I'm in no position to do any taunting, either, and won't mention which relative of mine is 5 months younger than PZ.)

That's why I went with zebra fish!

Happy Birthday PZ, may your health and your commitment to the truth never wane, you have a huge community of folks that wait with baited (hopefully not squid) breath on your every post to Pharyngula.

Keep up the excellent work for many years to come!

Is an ergonomic Cephalopod throne just euphemism for a toilet? 'Cause if it is that's one funky gift your rellies bought you.

Happy Birthday PZ from the Antipodean contingent of your evil henchmen. (henchpeople?)

I'd say that the squid I ordered from the thai joint down on the corner was in honor of your birthday, but I'd be lying: it looked good.

I did raise a fork for ya though.

You didn't get a "little" older. You're ancient.
