Sweet!
Thanks to the Council for Secular Humanism, and of course to Ceiling Cat, praise Him, from whom all blessings flow.

Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Congratulations.
Upon reading WEIT, I have concluded that while evolution is most certainly true, Ceiling Cat guided the process.
Nice honor, lousy photo.
1. Needs better lighting for the plaque.
2. Crop bottom edge higher so the floor doesn’t look like a big… floor…hanging between your legs.
I have to second that.
Plaque is barely visible.
If you must, you can click on it to enlarge it.
But Ceiling Cat is very visible, and considerably funnier.
Mind you, I did think there should be cowboy boots in the frame somewhere, but that’s a quibble.
Well, Linda, now we know where your mind is…:D
My first thought was that it was a pretty cool composition–CC & plaque nicely juxtaposed, & I’m always fond of the t-shirt & jeans look on Ivy League-pedigree profs…
Oh, and well-deserved congratulations, Jerry! CSH made a smart choice.
Well done!
🙂
Ceiling cat? Oh, I see – the Lord Cat Almighty.
Proudly awarded and proudly accepted, as it should be among felids.
The species character is open to interpretation. A trinitarian kitteh would be, I think, “Dam, Kitteh and Felis Catus”.
Indeed!
Congratulations. It took a while to get that to you, didn’t it?
It’s November. 2010.
I’m finally about to read WEIT. It’s on hold at my library. Sorry I haven’t bought it, but plan to do that eventually(if I like it :)).
If the award required Ceiling Cat’s approval, the delay could be explained as due to that nasty incident in which Coyne asked readers to support the certainly less than all knowing Maru. Coyne appears to be knowing the truf now.
I think you will enjoy WEIT!
Congratulations. Well earned.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I enjoyed WEIT very much.
It’s at the top of my list of books for others to read.
Congrats! Did Shubin get one of these for his fish book?
Congratulations, nifty shirt to boot!
Congratulations, Jerry! No award was ever so richly deserved. Like mike m@10, WEIT’s at the top of my list for others to read too.
BTW: that’s a great shirt!
Concatulations!
Congrats Jerry!
what a brilliant book. totally deserves this prize.
Where can I get a ceiling cat T?
cafepress or zazzle. Zazzle takes longer but I think their shirts are nicer. Check them out.
Congratulations Dr. Coyne!
Congratulations Prof. Coyne!
Congrats Jerry! Well deserved.
Great book and award deserved, congratulations!
By the way, I couldn’t find that version of Ceiling Cat T-shirt (in my opinion the best) . . .
Sorry, the blue one I was wearing actually came from LOLmart.
Go here.
