Today we celebrate Paul Nelson Day in honor of the seven year anniversary of his theory of “ontogenetic depth“. Last year it appeared that Paul is finally going to spill the beans. On April 6th 2010 he posted this on the DI’s Evolution News & Views. On the 7th we got a “prequel” in which Paul admitted that the initial concept was dead in the water and promised to tell us what PZ got right or wrong. And since then? Nothing. That is until yesterday, when we got this. Tune in next year for Part II. And now we have Part II. I’m stunned. Surely a peer-reviewed version can only be weeks away?

No matter how you choose to celebrate, have a happy Paul Nelson Day!
