Quite a birthday party yesterday, eh? Thank you to all the nice people who wished me well and for that roundup of birthday congratulations by grrlscientist. I’m blushing still.
It’s a dangerous business, having a birthday. Not only did my actual chronological age get exposed on the web for all to see (you people are geniuses to figure that out), but certain people used their detecting skills to break my cover, and post the first and only accurate photograph of me on the web. My anonymity is gone! Oh, well…at least everyone will understand why I get called an angry Darwinist.
Damon says
Who you callin’ chump, chimp?
moonbatty says
oops. :) Happy belated!
Teophobus Atheist says
HAHAHAHA, great one!
mathpants says
if chimps can use firearms, then why are there still
PYGMIES + DWARVES?
Also, will you let the monkey blog?
PZ Myers says
Uh-oh. Two problems:
1. Are you familiar with the Librarian? You should be aware of what happens to people who call great apes “monkeys”.
2. Some would say the monkey is already doing all the blogging around here.
Hank Fox says
PZ, you read Terry Pratchett?? Good gosh, I didnt’t think my regard for you could rise any higher, and now this.
Dave Puskala says
That photo has to be faked somehow. You are not that snappy a dresser, and I have never seen you in a tie.
mathpants says
PZ is a typical Darwinist: ignores my important first question and focuses on unimportant little details in my second.
I rear up on my hind legs and find that ironic.
yappa says
Hank Fox: seconded. The other comments were also very witty. I have high regard for you all.
