I was born at 7:07 am on 9 March 1957, so today I'm supposed to celebrate the fact that the earth has circled about the sun an integral number of times. I think I'll, oh, go to work all day. It should be fun!

Wingnuttia, O Wingnuttia. There are so many lunacies uttered in that fabled land that one cannot possibly keep up with them all, so it's useful when one of them distills it all down and gives us a condensed list of the properties of a True Conservative. We have such a useful list, written by Rob…
Happy birthday PZ, and many, many thanks for my quasi-daily dose of science, atheism and witty sarcasm.
Happy birthday!
As Dawkins has so elegantly pointed out, there are so many more ways to not exist than to exist. You beat the odds, my friend, so beating them a little more is surely worth a celebration!
I'll start, everyone one else join in....
"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to yooooouuuuu....."

I'm supposed to say "Happy Birthday!"
So...

Dear PZ,
Congratulations on managing to remain alive on, and not falling off of, the planet earth for 57-ish of its orbits around the star we call "sun".
I hope your day is filled with rational thinking and education... and perhaps cake.
Love,
Kate
I see what I did wrong above.
Ooh, congratulations and cephalopodations, PZ! And hey, if you punch in your new age on a calculator it'll show you a miniature octopus. It's an omen! Let the year of the octopus commence!
Ooh, a meme!
PZ, ¡Feliz cumpleaños!
happy birthday, pz, and many more.
Happy birthday PZ.
I hope that (besides work) you'll have a wonderful day shared with the people you love :)

Grattis på födelsedagen!
May your tentacles grow ever more far-reaching.
Happy birthday, Professor Myers.
I'd like to say thanks for all the learnin' PZ - (from a long time lurker - not a scientist). Came here by way of Richard Dawkins - now I tune in whenever I can.
So, many happy returns and big manly hugs.

Happy birthay, PZ!
And Happy Monkey, too!
It's always Happy Monkey.
Happy Birthday, PZ!
Congratulations for running a blog which is simultaneously one of the best on the Internet, but also the one that I most wish didn't have to exist.
Thanks for fighting the freaks for another year.

Ahem.
You were born? Yeah, right.
I suppose your mother used to be a virgin too, eh?
Y'know my suspicions that PZ doesn't exist grow by the day.
However, if he does, happy birthday to him.

I was wondering what to drink to today. Thanks for that.
It was a blessing from God when you were brought into this world. Remember that. LOL... ok I kid. But Happy Birthday.
[delurk] Happy Monkey! [relurk]
Many happy returns, as they say in Stoke-on-Trent.
May all your Monkeys be Happy Monkeys!
Congratulations on not being dead for another arbitrarily measured orbit of the sun. Please continue to not be dead for many more of these orbits. Dying would be bad, you are forbidden from doing it for an appropriately large number of said orbits.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, PZ! FWIW, it turns out I'm 369 days older than you.
Happy Birthday!
Actually, due to all that travelling you do and General Relativity you're not as old as you think...
Happy Birthday PZ!
1957 was obviously a vintage year for births, PZ, although you beat me by six months. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, PZ! I assume someone's going to throw a birthday bash for you.

If ya think you are half the age you actually are then you are only half the age you actually should be!
Happy birthday! And thanks for the reminder: it's my mom's birthday too...
Per molts anys, PZ! But actually speaking in terms of cycles, your post-birth 52nd cycle was ended yesterday at 9:22 PM.
Well Happy Birthday sir! Here's something that might brighten your day
More Americans say they have no religion
Happy Birthday (or Feliz cumpleaños) to you, to Yuri Gagarin and to me too XD, I've just discovered this coincidence.
Happy Birthday O Great Leader! So we have now entered the year 53 AP (After PZ). Keep on preaching!
And just who's frame of reference are you measuring that in?
Happy Birthday PZ!
Congrats on not dying, PZ!
Happy birthday, and congratulations for travelling almost 49 billion km!
Boldog születésnapot! and Feliz Aniversario!
Plus today's the day when the restrictions on stem cell research look likely to be lifted. This on the same day as PZ's birthday (btw were you born in a manger?)? Coincidence? I think not!
If you doubt this is possible, how is it there are PYGMIES + DWARFS??
Best wishes, PZ. As a gift, I guess I'll dedicate this afternoon's blood donation to you.
http://www.sandraboynton.com/sboynton/hippobirdiecards.html
Happy Birthday, PZ! Enjoy your special day.
Happy Birthday PZ! Sorry I missed you in Toronto.
If you're bored, you can calculate what time exactly the Earth will be in exactly the same location in the solar system as when you were born. Once you start thinking about 1 year being 365.24 (+ more ugly decimals) days long and the fact that the universe is expanding, it starts to get astronomically interesting. Your birthday is not quite where you think it is.
...What?
Many Happy Returns PZ!
Wishing you a happy birthday - with some macabre PBF humour:

Happy birthday, P.Z! Ive taken the day off work to celebrate.
P.S. The time left to show your support for the atheist bus campaign in Ottawa, Canada is running short. Do it now.
Happy Birthday, Professor Myers. :)
There's nothing like a birthday to draw out the lurkers. Why is that? ... Is there a party?
Feliz Aniversario! Parabens!
Happy Birthday, Professor!
Happy Birfday!!
Happy Birthday PZ!
Tillykke med fødselsdagen!! Jeg håber du får en god dag!
Happy Birthday, PZ. May you enjoy many more years to be with Trophy Wife.
Happy Orbit, PZ!
" has circled about the sun an integral number of times. "
A better reason to celebrate - the earth's CONTINUING to circle the sun.
Enjoy the day - hope no grading comes your way to spoil it.
A recent poll suggests that 18% of the British public (the figure is higher for Ireland and some European countries) think the earth orbits the sun once per month. This suggests that some of the problems we have with teaching evolution is not due to religion but to plain ordinary pig-ignorance of science. Anyway, happy birthday, PZ.
Richard
Happy birthday.
Kick back, have a stiff drink, a nice meal, enjoy a mellow smoke, and get royally laid.
Birthdays are the only holiday worth celebrating.
Happy Birthday, PZ!!!
Happy Birthday!
How dare you abuse your internet stardom to get wishes from all over the world...all I got were some books...Ha! But that's what I wanted and I was happy and congratulations on waking up today, dreams do come true eh?
One year I will make like the Mad Hatter and have 364 un-birthdays to celebrate!
52 * 12 = 624 revolutions around the sun! Boy the seasons must just have flown by for you!
Happy birthday anyway, Pee Zed. May you live to see hundreds more.
... Nope, I can't even pretend to think Earth orbits the sun at such a speed. Where the hell do they even get that idea? Pig-ignorance is the best word for it. Sigh.
AJ at #82 already did Finnish, so I'll go dialect. Horribly exaggerated dark-heart-of-Savonia-dialect.
Hyvvee syntymmäpäevvee, Pee-See!
Good to see some Finnish people on here. I'm trying to learn your language now, fark it is hard.
Many happy monkeys!
Happy Birthday!
All the best, P.Z....
Many more....
Hey you were born in the same year as my mom!
She died two years ago.

Happy annual celebration of the entropic nature of the universe.
Happy birthday Professor Myers!
And thank you very much by this excellent blog!
The cake is a lie!!!
Languages, eh?
Breithlá shona duit!
Happy birthday, Professor.
@69:

Haven't seen this one here yet, so
Wszystkiego najleszego z okazjii urodzin PZ!
Happy Birthday Monkey! Have a comforting banana!
oops! okazji
Happy Birthday PZ. I think I'll spend your birthday at work, too. I spent my birthday(Saturday)digging holes for fruit trees. Good times. Good times.
Happy Birthday, PZ! ...and many more!
Happiest Birthday PZ - all the best!
Some physicists are trying to muscle in on the biology act, bypassing the abiogenesis chemists:
New Scientist
Wired blog
Perhaps they're envious of the quantity and "quality" of hate-mail the biologists receive from ID creationists and are looking to poach some of the religious lurve and attention, via their own examples of non-designed self-assembly and life-like behaviour.
Happiest of birthdays, PZ!
Isn't it lovely to have a job you enjoy. Happy birthday. Give a fake pop quiz for some fun with questions like 1) Name your favorite cephalopod.
Happy Birthday, PZ and everyone whose integral rotation coincides.
And Happy Monkey Everyone!
Happy Birthday PZ!
Unbelievable, all these happy birthdays and NONE in Hebrew? I'll write it in Hebrew letters (which'll probably be gibberish to most people) and then I'll write it in transliteration:
יום הולדת שמח!
Yom Hoo'lei'deit Sa'meiach!
My wife also has a birthday today :) Now I have an excuse to drink twice as much ..
Happy Birthday, PZ!
No kings,

Happy birthday PZ
Huzzah! Happy birthday!!!
Hmmm, very interesting... PZ counts his years from birth instead of from conception!
Happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
If you watch "The Office," then you'll get this:
It is your birthday.
In the words of Geddy Lee, as accompanied by the wailing riffs of Zakk Wylde... Happy Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary!
"Day" is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. I didn't get you anything.
Happy Birthday. At fifty-two you have are playing the last card in the deck, so it's time to shuffle anew.
Here's to another full deck!
Obviously the sign of a godless heathen. Anyway, as some native speakers of my homeland would say:
Co` latha breith sona dhuibh!
Felis natalis tibi!
(I dug through the archives and made a list of the year in science on Pharyngula, if anyone's interested in a retrospective.)
Iz mah birfday! Where r caek, dammit!?
Happy birthday, Dr. Myers. May your zebrafish haz many noms.
I'll just add my voice to the multitude above, to wish you a happy birthday - another year on earth without suffering a terminal episode is a GOOD year!
You have the same birthday as my sis!
Happy birthed day!
I bet you were a little rascal as a kid. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to you,
You don't look fifty-two.
You may feel you're decrepit,
But I'm older than you.
And many thanks for the blog.
I swear I was sober. I was just in a hurry.
Happy Birthday! Where do I send the bottle of bourbon???
Fleas Cumpleaños, PeeZee!
Now, do something important so in 50 years or around this day will become a national holiday...
Happy Birthday! Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
I say happy birthday to you in one more language!(in Presian)
تولدت مبارک
Cheers
Happy Birthday, PZ. And Happy Monkey.
Keep up the good work, mate.

Hmm.. Udmurt language doesn't render correctly here.
Happy birthday.
All these languages! And here I took two years of karate and still can't speak a word of it.
PZ, let me be the first to wish you Happy Birthday in Klingon:

Perhaps today is a good day to have cake.
Happy birthday, PZ!
(However, as we all know, the cake is a lie!)
Happy birthday, Dr. Myers! May it have cake if you so choose.
Yay for my favourite scientist!
March 9? Hey, you were born only two days after I did. Not on the same year though, I just turned 16.

Happy birthday PZ!
March is not a bad month.
The Harbor View Cafe in Pepin opens in March.
Still, I know from personal experience that
February is better.
What's better is that on March 16, 2009, you will be 19000 days old.
Way to be born!
Wow, we share a birthday! (I'm a year older, though.) Have a happy one!
Happy B-Day from one Marcher to another. You're only one year older than me, yet so much more accomplished. Moms keep your kids away from rock'n'roll and they to may achieve greatness.
Anyone see a missing "o"? Ah, there it is. "Too", not "to".
Happy birthday!
Hey, Happy Birthday, PZ!
Happy birthday, PZ.

Only because of the precision with which post your DOB I'll point out the calendar years aren't exactly equivalent the number of times that the earth has gone around the sun. Orbital precession means that there is a slight difference, about 1 day every 71 years.
If I may speak chromatophorically (and I believe I may), here's wishing you a bright and colorful birthday!
Happy Monkey, PZ!
Happy Birthday, PZ!! As a present, I will give you a crocoduck.
Grattis på födelsedagen!
Pick any song:
1)
Ha det äran, hurra

ha det äran, idag
2)
Ja, må han leva!

Ja, må han leva uti hundrade år!
Javisst ska han leva!
Javisst ska han leva!
Javisst ska han leva uti hundrade år!
Och när han har levat
Och när han har levat
Och när han har levat uti hundrade år!
Ja, då ska han skjutas.
Ja, då ska han skjutas
Ja, då ska han skjutas på en skottkärra fram!

Saturn in your sign this week is cause for concern, as Pisces has had a restraining order against the planet for years.
Happy birthday and happy monkey!
Cheers!
Happy Birthday Monkey!
Artificial construct.
Nevertheless, mine is in another week or so and ALSO from 1957 (Cool!).
Happy birthday (and no gods were needed to carry out this well wishing.)
Happy birthday, PZ!
Happy birthday, PZ!
And I know exactly how old you are, too, because when we met we figured out that I am old enough to be your very slightly older cousin...
We share a birthday! Cool! Not the same year, but still. I almost never run into 3/9 people. Happy birthday, and congratulations on your stunning taste in natal dates! ;)
Happy Birthday, PZ, and thanks for the great reading these last few years! (Now will you put in a good word for me when the Overlords come?)
Happy Birthday, Prof. I won't tell you how much you have taught me about biology (not my best subject in school) among other amazingly interesting stuff, in case you might be tempted to charge for all that education, but here are sincere wishes for a very happy day and many, many more.
Happy Birthday and Happy Monkey, PZ!
Allow me to say happy birthday as well.
Hope you get a squid cake! (cake shaped as a squid, or cake made from squid, either sound good)
Happy birthday dude
and nice work on the website! don't know where you find the time!
Happy Birthday to my favorite cephalopod enthusiast.
Even though I'd have said it a bit differently, Biologista @153 has already ticked the Gaeilge box, so instead I'll just say ois Guade, oider Ketzer!
(Smidgy @180, interesting that youse over there use 2d person plural as a polite form!)
Happy birthday, PZ, and a happy monkey to all! We should all take the time to enjoy some delicious cake to celebrate.
Just a little birthday ditty to put the whole "happy birthday" thing in perspective. But you should definitely celebrate making it this far!
Congrats and Happy Birthday!

My Indonesian has faded a bit, but Happy Birthday!
And thanks for posting the best blog on the 'net.
Happy birthday, PZ!
Actually, I'd say that you are celebrating that the number of times the sun has circled the earth since you were born mod 365 equals 0.
Disregarding leap years:P

Happy Birthday, I dedicate the new cartoon under Blasphemy at www.irreligiosophy.com to you.

Best wishes PZ. (I wish wishes really worked.)
Eat well, stay fit, die anyway!
From Thom H. of 1947. (damn but that's starting to sound like ancient history)
Ah, another 57 baby. But that's not surprising, I guess, since 1957 still holds the record for most births in US history. We are truly the crest of the Baby Boom.
Happy Birthday!
Happy happy birthday PZ !
May your orbit ye olde sun for a couple of decades more !
Have a drink on me
Gratuliere PeZett!
Happy revolution-around-the-sun-anniversary day!

And I once lived in the lovely but rainy place where they speak this one:

Feliz cumpleaños a ti,

Happy Birthday, PZ!
Keep up the good work! Oh, I guess you are....
Happy Birth-anniversary! (If you were really born today, you could be from a Heinlein story.)
Noli nothis permittere te terere. Or, as most of us know it: Illegitimi non carborundum.
For someone that has given me so much and brightens my life everyday I'm sorry that all I have to give is a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Congratulations on making it another year without being struck down by a vengeful but loving god of some sort!

I wish you many more birthdays. Your blog is quite a read and I always enjoy the daily visits. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for everything you are doing in the promotion of science.
Happy birthday PZ, and may there be many more. Don't ever stop blogging, and thanks for the many hours of godless pleasure you've provided through writing this one.
Happy birthday, PZ. I think I'll celebrate by, oh, BLASTing a pile of new genes out of a pile of new zebrafish. All in honor of the occasion. Hurray!
Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday PZ. It's nice to know I share a birthday with someone I admire.
Someone beat me to it in every language that I know how to say “happy birthday” in, so a plain Anglophone “Happy birthday, PZ!” will have to suffice.
Happy Birthday, PZ, and many, many more!!! Have a fantastic day and enjoy the blizzard coming your way!
Just chiming in with a Happy Birthday of my own.
Hrrrmpph. Kids.
I beat you by a full decade, almost exactly (a little over 4 hours different)
And keep off my lawn.

I have a glass of falling down water in front of me, and shall dedicate the next quaff or three to your good health.
Your health, sir!

You enrich the lives of people you will never know. Thank you, and Happy Birthday.
I believe 1957 was also the year that Why I Am Not A Christian was published.
Woohoo! PZ, you sure know how to live it up! Happy birthday!
My father would have been 104 today, had he lived.
He would have regarded you as a wise ass. A smart wise ass, a good wise ass to have around to drink with on holidays, but a wise ass nevertheless.
I have to respect people born on March 9. They have a certain sort of wisdom, no?
Happy birthday, oh tentacled overlord!
Happy birthday, Papa Zulu.
Here's a birthday present that Chris Clarke sent PZ a few years ago. Enjoyable reading for those who haven't yet.
Happy Birthday PZ. Although it's 10th March over here, but at your place it's still 9th. Hope you enjoy this day and in future continue to provide us with daily dose of rationality.
May many birthdays of happiness continue to return to you squidman. 生日快樂

I don't know whether it is better than being reelected as the
President of Venezuela but it is much better than stepping on a landmine.
