Happy 200th Birthday Darwin!

It's been 200 years since Charles Darwin was born (1809). He circumnavigated the globe aboard the HMS Beagle, and was responsible for the theory of evolution which he theorized after visiting the Galápagos Islands and noticing subtle differences in birds from different environments.


In 1859 he published his theory in a book called: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Hopefully they'll still teach it in schools when Rohan comes of age...:)
They have several items associated with Darwin, one being the Darwin Fish, and another being the Darwin Awards. The awards are doled out to people who have succumbed to natural selection by means of their stupidity. Pure Comedy...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLES!
