The Friends of Charles Darwin website update I mentioned yesterday is complete (I toasted it with a latte instead of a whiskey, I'm afraid). You do know that if you join, you are then entitled to put an official "FCD" after your name, which looks very distinguished and high-falutin' (I just refrain because I'm shy about bragging about my honors.) The FCD requires just about as much work and more intelligence than the Ph.D. that Kent Hovind has after his name, so it's worth going for.

Nathan Moran wrote to chastise me. I feel bad for him…I get these things all the time and the stream-of-consciousness reaction I have to them is never flattering to my correspondents. Maybe they should stop.

New blogger Mrs. Comet Hunter is in the latter stages of her Ph.D., and she's at the stage of trying to figure out how to break her work out into discrete publishable chunks.

Well, almost. My flight is delayed a bit, so I'm stuck in the San Francisco airport for a few hours. I will get there, though, and I will nap the whole way. It's been a long couple of days.
So, yesterday for lunch I was able to visit the giant gleaming temple to rampant Darwinism, the NCSE. I got…

You could become a reverend.... It's easy as pie. Just as easy as Hovind's Ph.D.
I am not shy. I am an FCD, and was one before PZ even. You have permission to kiss my feet.

I put ICAR after my name, and nobody has ever challenged it. But I worked hard for that piece of fruit salad. I did, indeed, climb Ayer's Rock.
I am getting inundated with membership applications, thanks. Having FCD after your name apparently has more kudos than I realised.
Apologies for the occasional 'technical problems' mentioned above - they probably occur if you try to join while I am updating the membership list. Please try again in a few minutes.
The country by country breakdown is interesting. Charlie currently has more friends in the USA than in England.
Nice. I, too, am one of the elite who meets to think on his feet.
Or something.
I hope nobody thinks this makes me a florist.
somnilista: "I was an FCD before PZ" has a good rap rhythm to it. Any more lines welcome.
With all those Brits on the list where is Dawkins? He, Shermer and Dennett were certainly eager enough to sign up as "Brights."
-J W Thomas, FCD.
Ooo, that'll look great in conjunction with my ascendancy to DfS and Popehood.
Awesome, I've always wanted to add letters after my name
I signed up. Don't I look impressive now?
I, too, didn't have any whisky last night. I plum forgot. But I did have some nice Bordeaux.
Heh, I'm game. Trying to get the letters PhD after my name has been an ulcer and apnea generating experience.
FCD will come at less expense to my health and personal life, not to mention my savings account.
