Listen, I go out in shorts and a t-shirt in the summer time and I frighten the hell out of children, small animals, and of course all my neighbors. If I were to pose for that calendar, it would cause an international outcry. People would have Skepchick Calendar burning parties. All women would go lesbian…they would consider it a moral imperative. No sir, in my case, it’s a Very bad idea :o)

Heh, until someone comes along with a bigger instrument than yours. Don’t believe what you’ve heard - size IS important

vbloke, I’m not going to be in this year’s calendar… in fact, I don’t plan on doing it again. Why not? Not to be immodest — HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! — but neither I nor anyone else will ever top the shot I did for 2007, so there’s no point in trying.

I’m having trouble getting over the description of the Amazing James as a ‘cool kid’….

So, you’re a skeptic, eh?

Yep. I’m even skeptical of other skeptics at times (I take the whole self-policing concept very seriously).

Think you’re hot stuff?

Flaming! No, wait, bad choice of words…

I’m a hunka hunka burning stud muffin… of science!

Think you have a keen sense of humor

I’ve have been know to dabble in geology humor, and once made a joke involving the Planck distance. You can’t get any keener than that! (get it?)

a critical mind

And a beautiful one, but without the whole schizophrenia thing.

and you look dynamite in black-and-white?

Dynamite? Dah-ling, my looks in the realm of the noir are only realistically measured in megatons.

Then maybe you should apply to be a calendar model over at Skepchick.

Not a good idea. My artistically taken and unclad image would cause spontaneous, soul wrenching orgasms in any women (and in anywhere from 3 to 10 percent of the men) who were fortunate enough to gaze upon it, thus bringing civilization to a screeching halt and making everything really sticky. You’d have to call in FEMA, and we don’t want that, do we?

Thus in the interests of humanity and my own powerful modesty, I must decline. Sorry, ladies.

Looks like you’ve got competition, Phil, I’m in this years calendar…
