btw - What the Hell kind of discipline is this:

and is it widely offered?
Philosophy of Biology isn't widely offered. I used to teach a Philosophy of Science course some years ago, in which I tended to focus on biology. It was one of my favorite courses to teach, but there's not much call for it with undergrads. Course content of PoB will vary. Sterelny's looks to be one of the better ones, judging by his textbook. Too many of them are a hodgepodge of post modernistic bafflegab and bear little relationship to biology specifically, or even to science in general. New Age woo, basically.
A real course is geared toward biology majors, and will deal with various philosophical and ethical issues arising from scientific discoveries, paradigms, etc.. Like the impact of the discovery of evolution on society, or the implications of the Modern Synthesis, or the validity and importance of Dawkins' selfish gene model, for examples.

I bet it's a lot clearer for you now, huh?

I don't remember the first two that I picked, but I was convinced that the last pic was of a prof.

I've cleaned up my act a bit and I'm not quite as slovenly as I was in years past. But now my arms are nearly covered in tats, so I'm comfortable in the knowledge that I can still pass for a derelict.

Bullshit - only NBA players used to be able to afford those tats.

And a few Ohio State football players.

I feel like such a failure - only 6/10. Engineering professors don't look like any of those (at least when I went to school). I did have a math professor that looked an awful lot like one of the pictures.

Mine aren't all that expensive. I provide my own designs (with a few exceptions) and the guy who does them uses me as sort of a human billboard for his business. He's starting on my right (good) leg Thursday. And the sleeve on my right arm will be getting finished in a couple of weeks. I don't play golf, so it gives me a hobby.

I believe you enjoy being pricked with needles.
