Quite a birthday party yesterday, eh? Thank you to all the nice people who wished me well and for that roundup of birthday congratulations by grrlscientist. I'm blushing still.
It's a dangerous business, having a birthday. Not only did my actual chronological age get exposed on the web for all to see (you people are geniuses to figure that out), but certain people used their detecting skills to break my cover, and post the first and only accurate photograph of me on the web. My anonymity is gone! Oh, well…at least everyone will understand why I get called an angry Darwinist.
Who you callin' a "Darwinist", punk?

Today is PZ Myers' 51st birthday.
This Sunday I was at an event that involved a number of drawings for door prizes. There were perhaps 30 couples there - it was, not to beat around the bush, a wedding registry shindig at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. (Did I mention I'm recently engaged? I am.
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Erin
Happy Birthday to you!
...and many more!...
It is rather fun to have a birthday on February 29th. Today is my 8th birthday, which is pretty weird, considering my young son will have his 8th birthday later in the year. For him, it’ll be the same old birthday.
Who you callin' chump, chimp?
oops. :) Happy belated!
HAHAHAHA, great one!
if chimps can use firearms, then why are there still
PYGMIES + DWARVES?
Also, will you let the monkey blog?
Uh-oh. Two problems:
1. Are you familiar with the Librarian? You should be aware of what happens to people who call great apes "monkeys".
2. Some would say the monkey is already doing all the blogging around here.
PZ, you read Terry Pratchett?? Good gosh, I didnt't think my regard for you could rise any higher, and now this.
That photo has to be faked somehow. You are not that snappy a dresser, and I have never seen you in a tie.
PZ is a typical Darwinist: ignores my important first question and focuses on unimportant little details in my second.
I rear up on my hind legs and find that ironic.
Hank Fox: seconded. The other comments were also very witty. I have high regard for you all.
