It's the 200th birthday of both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin.

I know I'm a geek. I'm not a complete history geek, too much of SciFi still holds my attention. But tomorrow I'll thumb through my copy of On the Origin of Species and I'll re-read the Gettysburg Address or maybe the second inauguration speech (probably both), for now I'll have a shot for each of them and then I'm off to bed...

Happy Birthday, Chuck. Do old jokes evolve or just get stale?


A little girl asked her father:

Look who I ran onto today at the state capitol!

Thought of you Don.

There was also a group a school kids that read the Gettysburg Address to the Govenor.

Here's an interesting series of articles on the Darwin "controversy". As Don and I were talking yesterday, Lincoln has some controversy of his own that's interesting to exploure.
