Hey, Carl Zimmer and I share one thing in common: it's the hair. You can even see him on video if you've been wondering what he's like.
I may be meeting Carl next weekend in New York. What do you think — after a few beers, do you think he and I should head out to the Village and get tattoos?

Everyone has a bad Monday every now and then, right? Here's one for you: at 7a.m. spilled an entire cappuccino on my laptop and at 7p.m. I hit some black ice on the highway and rolled (and totaled) my truck. That is what I call a rough Monday...but what a banner, no?

Kyle, so what is your point ?
How about a tattoo that reads EVOLUTION RULES!
If I were the tattoo-ing type, it would be a 3-way tie between E. coli, a blood fluke, or Acanthostega. But I can't stand needles, no matter how drunk PZ tries to get me.
Going off on a tangent: The Zimmers are awesome, especially the guy at the end of the video.
