A. What are you pondering about?
H. I’m wondering who to scratch next.
Ja: Nad czym myślisz?
Hili: Kogo jeszcze troszkę podrapać?
Professor Ceiling Cat is indisposed today, so talk among yourselves. Business as usual will resume tomorrow.
Comments are closed.
Sorry to hear!
We’ll try to scratch up only the least valuable furniture in your absence, and give Hili no more than three pints of cream — four, tops.

Oh, dear. I hope you feel better really soon.
Indisposed? Hmmm… given today’s Hili dialogue, have you considered ‘cat scratch fever?’
In my experience, travel is often followed by sickness, since one has being exposed to strange new forms of teeny-tiny life.
Probably too much close contact with students!
“Doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains!”
“Well then, pull yourself together!”
If we are to talk among ourselves, may I suggest this as some light reading for those who have the time?! (not read them myself but they all look interesting, if a bit technical)
“PhyloSift: phylogenetic analysis of genomes and metagenomes”
https://peerj.com/articles/243/ (FREE!)
Also, a review of Bonner’s recent book Randomness in Evolution by Futuyma
“How Universal Is Natural Selection?”
http://bioscience.oxfordjournals.org/content/64/1/64.short
Or…
“Grafen, the Price equations, fitness maximization, optimisation and the fundamental theorem of natural selection”
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10539-013-9412-0#
Finally what about this non-technical article on Tinbergen, who was of course Richard Dawkins’s mentor
“Tribute to Tinbergen: The Place of Animal Behavior in Biology”
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eth.12192/full
Hope you feel better soon, Jerry.
An internet without WEIT is like a day without sunshine…
Too right! Get well soon PCC. Hope it’s nothing too nasty.
We get those here, too. The locals have a word for it: “night.”
…sorry….

You wag!
Ah, you’ve been to Britain too?
Funny, Ben, funny…lol
Quick recovery, Dr. C.
