You may hear rumors that this is actually a super-secret photo of the real PZ Myers, but you'd be mistaken.

You can tell because I wouldn't use that non-Mac laptop, ever.

Pretty neat but never did catch on.

My brother had some fun when his Mac roommate made fun of his PC during a moderate-level crash that would have killed his final class paper if we weren't techie enough a family.

This just proves that cephalopods are not dogmatic about the PC v. Mac thing.
