Yeah, it's my birthday on Sunday. I'll be of the age that means I have three 17 year olds yammering at each other in my cranium, and I'm going to celebrate it with a quiet day spent getting some writing done.

If you live in (most places in) the United States as well as many other countries, you have reset your clocks back by one hour last night (or last week). How will that affect you and other people?
One possibility is that you are less likely to suffer a heart attack tomorrow morning than on any…
National Sleep Awareness Week might have been last week, but many of us are feeling the importance of shuteye this week, as we struggle to drag ourselves out of bed at what feels like an inappropriate hour. While Daylight Saving Time may get the blame for sleepiness this week, though, there are…
Life has been proceeding more or less apace, and it feels like a long time since I've sat down and contemplated anything, much less my Anyway Project goals. At the same time, all this business is a series of steps on the way to actually many of the things done. I hope that's true of all of you!…
Continuing with the tradition from last two years, I will occasionally post interviews with some of the participants of the ScienceOnline2010 conference that was held in the Research Triangle Park, NC back in January. See all the interviews in this series here. You can check out previous years'…
Happy Birthday - and that's March 9th tomorrow (hopefully you've got your B-day right!!)
Happy Birthday!!!!
Happy B'Day, PZ. Glad you're still kicking and screaming.
Now, let's eat cake!
His ability to explicate rhabdomerics
Seems to deviate from the issue at hand
I'm not talking about Jerry Coyne
But rather, PZ Myers, the man.
His philosophy of algorithmic inelegance
So few could understand
We're talking about epigenesis
And PZ Myers, the man.
It is said in modern folklore
That his wife was his number one fan
She could have fallen for Stuart Kaufman
But she chose PZ Myers, the man.
Much more than some biologist
With an idealistic plan
He was quite a force to reckon with
Yes PZ Myers, the man.
You see, he loved the game of truth
And the ejaculations of a cytological gland
Cephalopods and pharyngulites
It's PZ Myers, the man.
Happy Birthday!
Sunday is March 9. Also, happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, PZ! You're not the only one who's celebrating around here. I'm celebrating, too for a much different reason!

Thus, far my blog is up to 98,569 hits and I'm commemorating this upcoming 100,000 hits achievement by staging a special contest you're all invited to enter, in which parts of it has something to do with your favorite animal, PZ. The cephalopod! Or should I say, "The Octopus!"
See my site for details on how to enter.
Presenting the 100,000 Hit Giveaway
So how does it feel to be cheated out of a whole hour on your birthday?
Maybe this will make you feel better

Happy birthday.
I hate moving the clocks forward. My biological clock does not like to be adjusted. The rest of this week I'll be a wreck as I adjust to waking up an hour early. (I get up at 5:45am or so.)
The earlier link to the Santeria lawsuit got me thinking...
Aren't there probably a lot of states that ban cannibalism? Even if no one kills the person? I mean, theoretically, suppose they find a body, or, I dunno... someone converts bread into human flesh?
Legally, could a Catholic practitioner be prosecuted for cannibalism? If so, the court would be forced to rule between saying, "No, that's just bread and not human flesh" and jail time? If they rule that cannibalization is okay in the name of religious freedom, doesn't that open all kinds of doors?
If not a criminal case, could someone bring a civil suit against a Catholic Church if they attended and saw that these people were eating what eyewitnesses will swear is "human flesh," provided they are sufficiently shocked and traumatized?
Happy birthday sir.
Happy Birthday, Kiddo!
<(__)(__)> Here's to you having another year under your belt with more happy years to go. The best to the best!
Happy birthday, youngster. Maybe in a year or so you will see the light. [Don't move towards it!]
And many more! Making it to each anniversary is a feat in itself. Enjoy and know that you have made a wonderfully positive difference in many lives.
HAPPY GODDAMN BIRTHDAY! (I'm not British but thought it would be appropriate)
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Many happy returns, PZ! I hope to be reading Pharyngula for three seventeen-year olds to come! ;-)
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!
This is the bad daylight saving time, too. I wish we'd just always set it back an hour. It doesn't make any kind of sense but the extra sleep sure would be nice.
Nice number: three 17. Two primes! Happy Birthday and many a happy returns.
...you forgot to mention Super Smash Brothers Brawl was being released in the United States today, but I'll forgive you.
Only because it's your birthday though.
Ecclesiastes 2:13-14
Happy Birthday!
Another Happy B'day wish. So you are three 17-year-olds. I didn't know you were triplets. Anything like the holy trinity or is it just "me, myself, and I"?
Happy Birthday! I suggest you pamper the 17 year olds by pouring large volumes of alcohol into your brain, and listening to loud music. That's what the young'uns like, isn't it?
Foolish Americans. The clocks don't go forward for another three weeks.
A very happy birthday to my favourite blogger for all matters pertaining to science, atheism and tentacles. Raising my glass to PZ !
Have a great birthday!
Happy birthday, PZ!
Gosh, no I checked all my clocks and wondered whether they all automatically have adjusted the time. Then I realized that the information in your post is only valid for americans. Man.. Next time give a warning :)
Happy birthday PZ !
Happy Birthday PZ!
happy birthday fae across the pond.
Congratulations, the rock you were born on has now has travelled an even integer multiple of pi radians, around the nearest astral fusion generator, since your birth. Due to the strange customs of the specific type carbon based life forms that you are a member of, this means everyone is going to congratulate you, as though you helped in some way. As I am also one of these carbon based life forms I suppose I should join in.
Happy birthday PZ.
Happy 12th anniversary of your 39th birthday young man.
Happy birthday, PZ. Here's to your next trip 'round the sun.
Happy Bday PZ!
Happy Birthday PZ !!
Happy Birthday! Herzliche Glückwünsche! I hope you get an octo-candelian cake! BB
Happy birthday! May you get pie. The good kind.
Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, PZ (happy birthday in Dutch).
Let's hope that this year you FINALLY get that giant squid you've always wanted.
I have researched your early history. There are no secrets now. Happy Birthday.
Many Happy Returns, PZed! Lang may yer lum reek!
Many Happy Returns! May you have a day of peace
Happy birthday, PZ! Perhaps since you're being cheated out of an hour of your birthday, you'll join me on my quest to get the daylight savings law changed. I don't want to do away with it. I just think that since the government takes an hour from us in the spring and gives it back in the fall, they should have to pay interest on it in the meantime. I'm not exactly sure how that would work, but that's not stopped the government from enacting ridiculous legislation before.
Happy Birthday PZ!
I live in Arizona. We don't participate with all that clock changing nonsense. We keep our clocks right were they are.
And that shows you just how conservative Arizona is. We don't change anything.
As one who is closing in on having five 12 year-olds, all heading toward puberty, in my head, let me just say ... it'll get worse before it gets better.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday PZ!
Happy Birthday PZ!
And this time round, I have a blog of my own to use in celebration.
Happy Birthday, young'un!
Happy Birthday, PZ!
Catching up on last week's radio show on unintelligent design - kludged testicles and associative memory - you are great!
Er, that's not kludge, it's kluge.
Yeah, it's my birthday on Sunday.
I've always celebrated my conception day. It seems more appropriate. I happen to know mine because my father had a three day pass before being shipped out to the Pacific and he and my mother spent the night at the Bear Mountain Inn near NYC. Semper Fi Marine!
"Here I am, an old man in a dry month,
Being read to by a boy, waiting for rain.
I was neither at the hot gates
Nor fought in the warm rain
Nor knee deep in the salt marsh, heaving a cutlass,
Bitten by flies, fought.
My house is a decayed house,
And the jew squats on the window sill, the owner,
Spawned in some estaminet of Antwerp,
Blistered in Brussels, patched and peeled in London.
The goat coughs at night in the field overhead;
Rocks, moss, stonecrop, iron, merds.
The woman keeps the kitchen, makes tea,
Sneezes at evening, poking the peevish gutter.
I an old man,
A dull head among windy spaces.
three 17-year olds.
who are you kidding?
you've got seventeen 3-year olds in there, is what you've got.
a whole daycare's worth of mayhem.
Long may you keep on adding more voices to the noise.
Happy Birthday to you,
You belong in a zoo,
Descended from monkeys,
Like the rest of us, too.
51, hmmm. That's one short of a full deck. (That's what I told my wife, who turned 51 last Thursday. I passed that same point a year earlier, so this year I'm playing with a full deck for the first time in my life. At least that's what I tell myself.) Have a happy, and keep fighting the good fight. We got your back.
Joyeux anniversaire, Pay-Zed ! (Pay Zed is how
one pronounces P and Z in French, of course).
On a different subject, on Digg there was a link to
your article on the evolution of eyes (the one that was
published in Seed); I liked it, even though I was
already familiar with the subject. The digg comments,
however, were sometimes really funny.
Happy Birthday PZ, even though it will only last roughly 23 hours.
Three 17 year olds, huuummmmm. Does this mean you are younger then Skatje?
Happy Birthday PZ and may this next year be even better than your last one!
Happy birthday, PZ, and thanks for expanding my horizons with knowledge and becoming the favorite teacher I never had.
Happy birthday, PZ! Your fine writing and courageous defense of science and rationality are inspirations to many of us. Here's to wishing you many more birthdays!
Happy Birthday PZ, and may you have many more to come!
Happy Birthday PZ, and thank you!
Thanks PZ! Now I'll never forget my mom's birthday- the same day as yours +15 years. Happy Birthday!
