[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!

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...

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 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 server with the image has hot linking protection. Just copy and paste the URL into a new browser window (or refresh the page) to see the image.

It probably works for you, Javert, because you've been to the site and have a cookie set.

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

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.
