Default Darwin Day 2011 - How are you Celebrating?

Tomorrow (February 12th) is the 202nd anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth.

Will you be doing anything to promote science and reason or to further your understanding of natural history?

Darwin Day website - search for events in your area



I will be taking my family out to the Tyrrell Museum tomorrow.

I will also likely donate a book or two to my son's school library.

A couple likely candidates:
Daniel Loxton's Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be

Turner & Comin's The Frog Scientist: A Scientist in the Field

I'm going to church and praying for Darwin's heretic soul.

Or watching Hockey Day in Canada......whichever.

I'm going to take another step up the evolutionary ladder, thus making the rest of you a somewhat tasty yet greasy snack.

I'm going to celebrate our evolution into our modern sloth-like states by sitting at home and watching HDiC.

LOL! I ordered that exact decal online and received it last week! Been waiting for a good carwashing to slap that puppy on.

I had a radioactive bunker (full of some high energy gamma emitters) attached to one of my labs. You want in there or should I hook you up with a cyclotron at a hospital?

I thought I'd start with the House Of Commons. Then once I proclaim myself ruler of the country my first order of business is to institute the "National Hooker Pension Plan." Trade your STDs for RRSP's!
