No, really, it is. And although I followed the Identikit procedures exactly, I'm sure anyone who has met me will say I look nothing like this guy:

I tried. I really, really did try. I tried really, really hard not to look at the flaming idiocy of Bill Maher again, much less comment on it again. Here I am, in Chicago at the American College of Surgeons annual meeting, taking in all sorts of surgical…
Unfortunately, Brent Spiner is not living up to Commander Data's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.
Say it ain't so, Data! Say it ain't so!Last night, I decided for the heck of it to check my Twitter account, something I only tend to do sporadically, although I do keep a constant stream of links to…
We may have the answer to all of the big problems in physics! Or not.
My money is on "not".
Marcus du Sautoy, a very smart mathematician and the fellow who occupies the chair for the public understanding of science at Oxford formerly held by Richard Dawkins, made a stunning announcement.
Two years…
I've known very few real Iowans. I know people who live there now but are from the Twin Cities, but I've only met a handful of native Iowans. One of them is a dear friend, most are only vague acquaintances. Six of them were landlubbing pirates of no value to humanity whatsoever.1 But I'm sure…
You're right. I've never seen you wear orange shoes.
I know who you are, and next time you can buy me a coffee for that remark...
Of course, I'm much fatter than the Homer body form.
And less hirsute of course.
It must be my turn to shout coffees anyway.
You're right! The beard threw me off ...
Mmmmmm...Lamingtons...
Why, John. You wouldn't happen to have used this site to generate that, would you?

Does all the recent blog activity mean the Mr J.S. Wilkins is procrastinating instead of doing all of the things that were supposed to hold him up from blogging? Just asking!
For those of you who have never seen an actual picture of John or met him in person: you must know that, although he isn't willing to aknowledge it, John is a handsome man, a living example of what means to age gracefully. He might want to block this comment, blackmail Janet Stemwedel to remove the picture and kill me for giving this link to a a picture of him (in case it isn't obvious, it's the first picture) in which you can see for yourselves and compare to the Simpsons' character.
Actually, Ribozyme, that first snap is of Robert Brandon. Wilkins is in the third picture from the top, wearing a red shirt.
But I do agree that his Simpsons avatar is rather less attractive than the genuine article.
Yebbut notice that Ereshefsky aged even more gracefully than I did. And he's a much nicer fellow, which was inconvenient because I was all set to hate him for disagreeing with me. [I said I wasn't a nice fellow.]
I grew a goatee, but the site only had a few beard choices, so it makes me look much more hirsute than I am. Except when I haven't shaved the rest of my face for a few days...
Pieret, could you have picked a less flattering photo?
I'm confused: is it the bearded geek or the three-eyed fish that you don't look like?
No, I'm pretty sure that was the least flattering one I took. But if you come back to New york, I'll see what I can do!
I so want that three-eyed fish t-shirt. I have a three-eyed fish windup toy.
Was that XXXXXL...Sir?
Phlblblttt!!!
