So a guy gets a little older, and what happens? All these people try to draw attention to my age, largely with a collection of photoshopped pictures of yours truly. Don’t they know I’m funny-looking enough that no photoshop is necessary?
By the way, I got a nice present from my family: a new, ergonomic Cephalopod Throne. You’ll be reassured to know that now, when I fling thunderbolts of furious vituperation about the web, I shall be doing so with excellent posture.
Aren’t you 39 years old?
Jebus, PZ, I think they like you! Happy getting-old-and-gray day.
Man, I wish I had a Cephalopod Throne…
Happy birthday, PZ!
Uh, PZ, they’re trying to hide your many problems with the photoshopping…
Happy B-Day PZ.
Happy birthday!
Perhaps unrelated, perhaps not: in the NY Times today, there is a picture of Oliver Sacks wearing a “Welcome Squid Overlords” t-shirt.
Happy birthday, PZ. :) Here’s hoping you have many years of harassing those poor, poor religious-types before you.
May you find inky happiness on your birthday dinner plate.
This is all a ruse. Don’t you know PZ’s birthday is a giant ploy for him to get more readers at this blog?
Don’t fall into the trap his parents laid so many years ago.
Please post pictures of the throne, m’lord!
Assuming such an evil creature actually has parents.
Rest assured I will never, never taunt you on your age. I’m just 2 months older than you are, and that pretty much eliminates both name-calling options (fogy vs. baby).
If we cannot mock our High Priest Of The Unholy Church Of Atheism, who can we mock?
Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday, Professor!!
(I’m in no position to do any taunting, either, and won’t mention which relative of mine is 5 months younger than PZ.)
Happy Birthday, PZ. Best regards to you and yours.
Happy birthday to my favorite blogger!
Happy birthday, Doctor Myers! You’re my hero. :)
Happy birthday, PZ!
(Also, seconding #9 on the Cephalopod-Throne pix :P.)
Happy Birthday PZ.
Happy birthday, Prof Myers. And thank you for another wonderful year of Pharyngula.
That’s why I went with zebra fish!
My heartiest contrafabulations on the day, your cephalopodliness.
Happy Birthday PZ, may your health and your commitment to the truth never wane, you have a huge community of folks that wait with baited (hopefully not squid) breath on your every post to Pharyngula.
Keep up the excellent work for many years to come!
Wow! Thunderbolts, laser beam eyes, and excellent posture. Impressive!
Happy Birthday!
This year I’m late. Happy birthday.

r squid yrz same az humn?
Is an ergonomic Cephalopod throne just euphemism for a toilet? ‘Cause if it is that’s one funky gift your rellies bought you.
Happy Birthday PZ from the Antipodean contingent of your evil henchmen. (henchpeople?)
hap-p bd
may you be one of the lucky few to be eaten early by Cthulhu.
I’d say that the squid I ordered from the thai joint down on the corner was in honor of your birthday, but I’d be lying: it looked good.
I did raise a fork for ya though.
What, they didn’t get you this?
You didn’t get a “little” older. You’re ancient.
Happy birthday, PZ. If our paths ever cross, I’ll treat you to a squid smoothie.
From the Mongol Birthday Song
*er hem harrumph* Happy birthday, cap’n!
Before the day is done, just wanted to wish you and yours the very best, as well as hoping you had a fantastic B-Day.
Cheers!
It’s PZ’s birthday and WE gets da prezentz! Kewl!!!11!one
