[Party]

How are you going to celebrate this joyous occasion?

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm off to find a monkey!

Posted by C3PO the Dragon Slayer (Member # 10416) on :

And what will you do with that monkey once you find him?

And I thought we got a day off today because of the primaries...

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Day off? I could use a day off.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

My kids have today off. I don't.

And I'll use Darwin Day to grouse about how no one remembers Alfred Russel Wallace's contributions.

Why, teach him how to use tools and communicate with sign language.

Makes building a monkey army so much easier if you can talk to them.

Darwin Day? What about Lincoln's Birthday?

Darwin himself remembered, and that's all that really matters.

Either way: YAY DARWIN!

It occurred to me, I may be celebrating the wrong day.

Yay Darwin?

Fitting that I'm currently reading a Dawkins book with Origin next on my reading list.

The correct answer is: Give him a keyboard and watch him type Shakespeare. [Wink]

Sing hey nonny nonny for evolution.

I was a single-celled amoeba, and now I ain't.

You just can't get better than that.

I celebrated Darwin day by playing with a staple remover until I "accidentally" made my finger bleed. [Big Grin]

Now I'm playing with it some more.
