I paid tribute to PZ at the tail end of my latest post: a recipe for stir-fried squid and a Japanese haiku. :)
And a limerick from me!

thanks to both of you! you're both on the list!
Apparently I'm not the only one doing limericks around here. I guess Skepchick beat me to it, but here's mine.
Just a note, Grrl...the Two Percent Company's birthday greeting was a team effort, as are all of our Rants — not just by Tom.
But anyway, thanks for the collection! Now I've got some reading and PZ 'shipping to do (but I promise I won't write PZ/cephalopod slash).
And yet another limerick from me!

Heh. At least us un-poetic-types can write limericks and pretend that we're poets!
