Thank you to everyone who noticed that yesterday I was one day older than the day before! And a special thanks to Bora for collecting all the various links together in one place.

Now I do have to remind you all, though, that we're all aging at exactly the same rate (unless you have access to a spaceship that travels at a significant fraction of the speed of light), and all I've got is a head start on many of you, and a bit of a delay relative to some of you. So don't go getting cocky, you young whippersnappers — you'll be here someday, too.

Today is PZ Myers' 51st birthday.
Happy aging to all of us from They Might Be Giants
Not just spaceships. Anyone at a different gravitational potential is aging at a different rate, too.
Hypothetically we'll be there someday.
you're a Pisces? that explains a lot*
happy birthday, PZ!

Damn! I see the God of Biscuits has beaten me to the obvious response! But my in-depth textual analysis indicates you must have already had "Older" in mind when you wrote:
Belated Happy Birthday, youngster!
Remember: Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Since none of us are completely still all of the time, aren't we all aging at slightly different rates than the rest?
I fully admit to being ignorant to the subject of relativity, and will concede to anyone who merely sounds confident on the matter.
Happy Birthday anyway, PZ - no matter how much faster you are aging than me. :)
Does time pass more slowly for us fidgeters? One would think my hands and fingers will outlive us all.
I live closer to the equator (Toronto), so I'm moving faster, so I age slower. Thus, I am practically immortal compared to you and look forward to the day when you are too old and weak to bear the Cephalopod Crown. BWAHAHA!
No way man, I've got a plan...I'm going to live fast and die young! (off camera mumble...) Wait, I'm already 40? Crap, how did that happen?
My my, wait till the body is cold before you fight over the blog pickings! I didn't have time for a full post, I just left a comment the other day. Helps to have Skype remind me of B-days!

You'll never catch up with me, youngun, although I must say that since you're a PhD, you're a bit sharper than I am although I won't hold that against you. At least you have a delightful sense of humor about you. I giggle most of the time while reading your updated posts.
Thanks for the giggles, PZ. You're ahight.
Hope your day was great sitting atop your birthday throne! Moreover, I hope that it isn't a white one. ~:o)
*Hugs!*
@aiabx Your latitude doesn't affect clock rate -- the effect of speed is offset by the effect of the oblateness of the earth. You have to compare elevations above sea level. (about 3 microseconds per year per km of elevation difference)
Happy Birthday, Professor PZ Myers.
A very merry Unbirthday to you, to you!
Happy birthday and remember that those young whippersnappers are aging faster than you, percentage wise.
Happy belated. And since I missed it yesterday, here's a present to make up for it, meant to help keep you young.

Haha, I didn't expect to get linked, who on earth saw my LJ?
Happy belated Birthday, PZ. I not only thoroughly enjoy your daily entries, I am reassured that yes indeed, intelligence, whether by design or not, does exist, and it's right here on your blog.
Happy Birthday PZ!
Thank you so much for running this wonderful blog :D
Tom: curse you and your "science".
Sorry I shut down the blog so I couldn't join in the fun, but mostly I don't care all that much when youngsters have birthdays.
anyway belated happy birthday
Happy belated birthday oh wise one!
PZ, a belated happy birthday.
I would like to offer you an... appropriate song that friend of mine up in BC wrote:
