CBEB’s wishes you and yours a Happy Darwin Day!
In honor of Darwin Day, I’ve put together a little gift presentation for our friends at Uncommon Descent. Here’s a delicious Ebola-flavored birthday cake:
I’ve invited the rest of the Ebola Boys (and an Ebola Girl; is that Kristine, or Abbie?):
They’re dressed in pirate regalia in order to ward off global warming.
What’s that over there? Oh, goodie - it’s a peaceful country church!
Do your work, Ebola Boys (and Ebola Girl)!
On behalf of Church Burnin’ Ebola Boys and Girls everywhere, Happy Darwin Day!
I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:

Outstanding work as usual I see! Congratulations to you.
I plan on celebrating the usual way today, nothing special. Go out, hunt up a Christian, tie them to a pagan tree, hang fossils on them, and then sing and drink and have fun. Some years, at the end of the festivities, if they have been good, which means crying and begging for their very lives, we untie them and let them go. And there are even some years, when we don’t even light them on fire!
Anyone else have any other customs they like to follow on Darwin day?

Your plans sound fun, J-Dog. I might have to chase down a Christian or two to work off some of the calories from that Ebola cake.

I was baffled by this but I showed it to my wife and she said, “I agree this is what Darwin Day is all about.”
So, nicely done.

Hi Hank,
Tell your wife I said “Thanks, and Happy Darwin Day”.
I guess some people are scratching their heads about the meaning of all this. “Church Burning Ebola Boys” was originally an epithet used by Uncommon Descent moderator DaveScot to describe atheist scientists. The “Ebola Boys” comes from the Mims-Pianka Controversy.
The gang from After the Bar Closes (sort of the rec room of The Panda’s Thumb) have since appropriated “Church Burnin’ Ebola Boys” as a term of endearment.

Ah, so it’s like the “Howler Monkey” moniker for t.o regulars, then.
There must be few better ways to deflate an intended insult than to gleefully adopt it.
