Here’s a new meme: cat beards (more links below the photo). Send me a picture of you making a cat beard with your moggie; if you’re a winner (there will be only one), you get an autographed book with a picture of your cat drawn in. WARNING!!!: You know the risks you’re taking by doing […]
This week’s contest, in which I asked readers to write a letter, as an animal or plant, to evolution (based on this Scientific American post), elicited a number of funny entries. My six favorites were these (readers’ names in parentheses): Humans #1 (Diane MacPherson) Human #2 (Kevin) Dung beetle (Vern) Nudibranch (Alex Shuffell) Krill (Pliny […]
The judges have deliberated long and hard about the winner of the “humiliate-your-cat-by-altering-his-visage” contest. In the end, it came down to a scruff-and-scruff race between Bobby (owner of Barbara) and Kink (owner of Doc Bill). Intensive rumination, following a stiff dose of prayer to Ceiling Cat, has led us to declare the winner as. . […]
Before you can look at these cat pictures you have to read the biology post about pronking (just below)! On December 1 I announced yet another cat contest in which one winner would be chosen to receive an autographed and cat-drawing-embellished book. (BTW, I am still sending out books from the DWB offer, and have […]
Now that we didn’t die, I’m giving a reminder that Jan. 1 is the deadline for the “humiliate your cat” contest, whereby you use a piece of paper (or other creative devices) to change your cat’s face. Here’s an example, but I’ve shown a few others, too, e.g., There are only about a half-dozen […]
As I mentioned a few days ago, if you can make your own LOLcat (from your own cat) with a piece of paper and a good photo, you might win an autographed book. Deadline for submitting photos is Jan. 1. You need not make your cat into a bucktoothed cat. Be creative. The bucktoothed cat […]
Now that I’ve returned, I can award a free autographed and cat-illustrated copy of WEIT to a randomly-selected reader who reported joining the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). And. . . the winner is LAUREN, who left a terse message: So Lauren, please email me with your contact information so I can get your book […]
. . . in the KittenQwest Contest. Some lucky reader could win an autographed copy of WEIT because of your choices. Voting ends at 5 p.m. tomorrow (Friday). Don’t expect deep thoughts today, as I have a Ph.D. defense to attend. In the meantime, here’s Zippy the Pinhead on creationism: h/t: Al
An alert reader sent me this photo, which by my lights is the cutest kitten picture of all time. If anyone can send or link to a cuter picture of a kitten than this, I’ll send them an autographed paperback of WEIT. Note: I will not be judging this contest, but if the judge deems […]
Or rather, cute kittens completely annihilated both babies and cute puppies in the Pajiba poll I mentioned some time ago (look at the data when the poll began). Here are the final results: And not a squid in sight. Remember, too, that the Squidly One urged his minions to vote “none of the above.” That’s […]
