I was born at 7:07 am on 9 March 1957, so today I'm supposed to celebrate the fact that the earth has circled about the sun an integral number of times. I think I'll, oh, go to work all day. It should be fun!

As Dawkins has so elegantly pointed out, there are so many more ways to not exist than to exist. You beat the odds, my friend, so beating them a little more is surely worth a celebration!
I'll start, everyone one else join in....

Dear PZ,
Congratulations on managing to remain alive on, and not falling off of, the planet earth for 57-ish of its orbits around the star we call "sun".
I hope your day is filled with rational thinking and education... and perhaps cake.
Love,

Congratulations on not being dead for another arbitrarily measured orbit of the sun. Please continue to not be dead for many more of these orbits. Dying would be bad, you are forbidden from doing it for an appropriately large number of said orbits.

If you doubt this is possible, how is it there are PYGMIES + DWARFS??

If you're bored, you can calculate what time exactly the Earth will be in exactly the same location in the solar system as when you were born. Once you start thinking about 1 year being 365.24 (+ more ugly decimals) days long and the fact that the universe is expanding, it starts to get astronomically interesting. Your birthday is not quite where you think it is.
...What?

" has circled about the sun an integral number of times. "
A better reason to celebrate - the earth's CONTINUING to circle the sun.
Enjoy the day - hope no grading comes your way to spoil it.
Posted by: Richard Dawkins | March 9, 2009 8:30 AM
A recent poll suggests that 18% of the British public (the figure is higher for Ireland and some European countries) think the earth orbits the sun once per month. This suggests that some of the problems we have with teaching evolution is not due to religion but to plain ordinary pig-ignorance of science. Anyway, happy birthday, PZ.Richard

52 * 12 = 624 revolutions around the sun! Boy the seasons must just have flown by for you!
Happy birthday anyway, Pee Zed. May you live to see hundreds more.
... Nope, I can't even pretend to think Earth orbits the sun at such a speed. Where the hell do they even get that idea? Pig-ignorance is the best word for it. Sigh.

Some physicists are trying to muscle in on the biology act, bypassing the abiogenesis chemists:
New Scientist
Wired blog
Perhaps they're envious of the quantity and "quality" of hate-mail the biologists receive from ID creationists and are looking to poach some of the religious lurve and attention, via their own examples of non-designed self-assembly and life-like behaviour.

Only because of the precision with which post your DOB I'll point out the calendar years aren't exactly equivalent the number of times that the earth has gone around the sun. Orbital precession means that there is a slight difference, about 1 day every 71 years.

My father would have been 104 today, had he lived.
He would have regarded you as a wise ass. A smart wise ass, a good wise ass to have around to drink with on holidays, but a wise ass nevertheless.
I have to respect people born on March 9. They have a certain sort of wisdom, no?

Here's a birthday present that Chris Clarke sent PZ a few years ago. Enjoyable reading for those who haven't yet.

Happy Birthday PZ. Although it's 10th March over here, but at your place it's still 9th. Hope you enjoy this day and in future continue to provide us with daily dose of rationality.

Work all day?
I don't know whether it is better than being reelected as the
President of Venezuela but it is much better than stepping on a landmine.
