For a guy who has been dead for 126 years, he's pretty lively. You must see the result of a contest to caption a photo of Darwin's statue and the odious Ben Stein: trust me, Stein gets less than he deserves.
You just can't keep a brilliant man down. Charles Darwin also has a blog.

I just posted an entry on Darwin's status as a scientist, and wanted to tag on this brief run-down on some biography. (Although I'll say right off that I'm *not* a historical Darwin scholar, and a lot of brilliant people are.)
First, Darwin is the most biographed scientist. Second, that means…
I knew there was a reason why I like bioethicist Art Caplan.
Leave it to him not to be afraid not only to wander a bit afield of medicine than usual but also to call it as he sees it, mainly his argument for why Expelled! and its claim that "Darwinism" led directly to the Holocaust is not only…
I see P.Z. Myers already has the video of Bill O'Reilly's interview with Ben Stein. But just in case you're at work and don't want to get caught watching such filth, I have taken the liberty of providing a transcript below. Read it and weep:
O'REILLY: In the unresolved problems segment tonight,…
A review in the New Orlando Sentinel asks the question, "Is Ben Stein the new face of Creationism?"
In the cruelest slam of creationism yet, it is accompanied by this photo:
That's just mean.
Anyway, read the whole thing. It's a review of Expelled, and … no, sir, he didn't like it.
He uses "straw…
On my statue, I will have only the initials, "BS"
It's funny because it's true.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn today that Darwin has his own Bank of England banknote. Nifty. Way to go, Brits.
I think "Duh" would have been an adequate caption. It captures the substance of Stein's "criticisms" of Darwin.

Hardly on topic, but I'm just now seeing your new profile photo! Very nice!
Slightly lame late entry:
Darwin: A new species discovered in the Americas! The Pampas Ass!
I like the new profile photo too. But that city in the background ... I would have thought Dis would have more smoke and flames.
I think I will love Darwin's blog!
Just came across this hilarious piece. The link's below.

Those good folks at B3TA win everything theres a few image of the week challenges on religion they had a scientology one a few moths ago.
Never knew Darwin was such an imposing figure while one is trying to eat...lol

That's nothing. We have a city (capital of the Northern Territory) named after him. :-)
Way to go Australia!
Comments are moderated? Well, no shit asshole. Why? Because godless idiots like yourself love to silence people.
So silence this: suck my nuts when you burn in hell, fuckwad!
:P
what?
hey asshole, what part of "Comments are moderated for spam" didn't you get? the SPAM part???
Ah well, they are also moderated for someone being a retard.
goodbye.

Children on the internet make me weep.
"So silence this: suck my nuts when you burn in hell, fuckwad!"
So the little troll thinks he will "burn in hell" as well, right? Or are we witnessing yet another example of faulty logic?
When will fundies learn: Only post when sober, end even then, only after taking their meds.
The only way we'd be able to suck your nuts would be if you're in hell too......
Who was that even directed at?
I'm listening to the Geoff Simmons vs PZ Myers debate again right now. Its sad how dumb this guy is; as always, PZ actually has to explain the science to him. Then, PZ gets told to act civil because he points out how ignorant Simmons is.
"The only way we'd be able to suck your nuts..."
Bob's nuts roasting on an open fire...
Bob Adler spewed onto his keyboard:
A theory of a different kind gets more proof!
Notice the emoticon at the end of Bob's rather odd posting-- :P --which the Wikipedia article claims is "tongue sticking out (silly, or feeling lousy)".
Poe's Law perhaps?
Eclectech is the utter bestest.
Bobby @ # 12, hey fellah, & is that how old you are? I guess you're at the age where you're experiencing a sexual identity, & you seem to find it confusing too. The best thing for you is to come out of the basement & get some fresh air, play with some friends (& I don't mean sex play, I mean a game of ball or something).
Actually, it WOULD be possible for PZ to "suck Bob's nuts in hell" without Bob having to go to hell personally. All you have to do is realize that Bob's nuts need not be connected to Bob. After all, I don't imagine he will have any use for them in Heaven, since there will be "No marrying, nor giving in marriage" in Heaven.
And since 'Christians' are unable to have sex outside of marriage...
Bobbikins, I adore candied nuts, so after detaching them, dip them in some hot, molten syrup. Thanks.
Eclectech is a genius: his animations on ID cards are well worth checking out ;-)
Nice new photo, P.Z...
Where was that taken? I thought at first it was downtown Morris -- but then I thought...
Al, who says Eclectech is a "he"?
Does Jesus know you talk like this? How about your mother, boy scout leader, and Juvenile Offender officer?
Eclectech flashes, so an assumption of being male is a fair one.
If incorrect.
In fact, she will flash for cash.
Eclectech is most definitely a she, and her name is
Clare.
Of course I meant Claire.
If I may, I'd like to leave the nutsucking behind, and go back to mentioning what a brilliant thing Darwin's blog is! The writer is obviously brilliant. I shall peruse it daily. No, hourly.
The first thing I thought of when I saw that picture, was the current crop of "V8" commercials.
For the benefit of our foreign guests, in the new V8 (vegetable drink) commercials, we see a person passing up all of the veggie selections at various resturaunts, and his/her partner/spouse/child reaches out and bops them on the forehead presumably to 'remind' them that they are being an idiot. (The bop on the forehead is accompanied by a sound like someone striking a coconut with a small hammer).
@Humble Woodcutter: enthusiastically seconded! Allow me to quote from CD's latest post:
I have applied for membership of the Friends of Charles Darwin, and if accepted I may become CD, FCD. Membership is free, which is an improvement on the Royal Society. I have just received a most impudent letter from them insisting that if I continue to sign myself Charles Darwin FRS, I must pay my subscriptions backdated to 1881.
I'd venture the guess that the young master Adler would feel right at home over at Uncommonly Dense. His variety of post does indeed sound like the kind that will not disappear down the rabbithole over there.
