Tomorrow is 300th birthday of Carl von Linne (or Carlus Linnaeus) and there will be celebrations in Sweden and around the world. So, tomorrow is a good day for a post about him (and if I find enough time and energy, I may compile the best ones into a mini-carnival).

I heard on today's Writer's Almanac that "Late in his life, Linnaeus said that the introduction of rhubarb to Sweden was his proudest achievement." He weren't no dummy. rb
