Greg Laden has created a festival of LOLcats for the latest edition of the Tangled Bank. Should I be appalled or amused? Science is serious business! We never laugh, we're all supposed to be like Mr Spock!

Today is PZ Myers' 51st birthday.
We've done it last year and the year before. As I did last time, I will collect a linkfest of all the posts - especially those that use the LOLCats generator (Greg has collected some pictures if you want to use them).
First out of the starting gate:
Greg Laden:…
Check out a very clever Tangled Bank over at Greg Laden's place, and the latest Skeptics' Circle (Solstice edition!) at Relatively Science.
Draw Mohammed Day is over now, and we're getting the reactions now. Some people didn't get it, including
Greg Epstein.
There is a difference between making fun of religious or other ideas on a TV show that you can turn off, and doing it out in a public square where those likely to take offense…
The latest edition of the Tangled Bank is available at gregladen.com, but don't give Greg any credit for it. It's written by some guy named Derwin Darwin II; Laden is probably slacking off at the lake, fishing.
It's the holy body of atheism.
Respekt R God, Donohue. Else we anlyze ur God's meet en R test tubez.

Damn, my lolspeak has become rusty lately...
"We never laugh, we're all supposed to be like Mr Spock!"
Spock had a good laugh from time to time, even if it was against his will. Just pretend you're infected with alien spores.
Dang, it's quiet over here.
Science is just science until it goes into the lab where the transubstatiation occurs.
PZ. Did you see this from Dave Scott at Uncommon Descent?

Myers is playing Russian roulette. He just keeps pushing the envelope in seeing how many people he can possibly offend in the worst way. It's just a matter of time before someone with a terminal disease, a month left to live, decides he hasn't got anything to lose by taking out Myers along with him.
Scary.
Uh-oh. Be on the lookout for Catholics with terminal cancer.
On second thought, just stay away from Lourdes, and you should be fine.

Now THAT would be a hate crime. See no crackers involved. I will wager that if that ever happens, the guy who tries it will be a christian.
I hate lolcats.
If this is for real, then Dave Scott is a really nasty bit of work. That is incitement to some nut to commit murder of a valuable, respected, loved, useful person, over a non-existent, bronze-age, pre-philosophical, insane, mental aberration.
I see this incitement as a hate crime.
Catholics threaten lives, atheists threaten a cookie. Yeah, we're scary.
Now remember, even Spock wasn't immune to the wilting cuteness of cuddly little furballs. Come to think of it, I have yet to see a LOLtribble...
two words: meta phor
Brilliant idea ... LOL Spock...

Aw, Google rocks. I just copy and paste. :)
But thanks.
My version of the glowing lolcats, from back when the story was released:

@ Greg, #13: You mean like this? Or maybe this?
At last, someone's taking notice of my blog style!
