Happy Birthday to me!

Category: Personal
Posted on: March 9, 2009 5:07 AM, by PZ Myers

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....

"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to yooooouuuuu....."

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.

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.

" 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.

#138

Posted by: Richard Dawkins | March 9, 2009 8:30 AM

so today I'm supposed to celebrate the fact that the earth has circled about the sun an integral number of times.
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.

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.

Joyeux anniversaire!
Grattis på födelsedagen!
Breithlá shona duit!

Someone beat me to it in every language that I know how to say “happy birthday” in, so a plain Anglophone “Happy birthday, PZ!” will have to suffice.

And keep off my lawn.

בראשית ברא קוף שמח את הבעלי חוליות ואת החסרי חוליות׃ 2 והחסרי חוליות היתה תהו ובהו וחשך על־פני תהום ורוח קוף שמח מרחפת על־פני המים׃ 3 ויאמר קוף שמח יהי ראש רגלאים ויהי־ראש רגלאים׃ 4 וירא קוף שמח את־הראש רגלאים כי־טוב ויבדל קוף שמח בין הדיונונים ובין התמנונאים׃ 5 ויקרא קוף שמח לדיונונים "פ-ז" ולתמנונאים קרא "מאייערז" ויהי־ערב ויהי־בקר יום אחד

Hello from a long time admirer of your particular line of wit and the derision poured over the blind following the blind.

Happy Birthday, and many happy returns!

I believe 1957 was also the year that Why I Am Not A Christian was published.

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?

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.
