So how will *you* celebrate Darwin's birthday this Sunday?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Yeah you Mr. and Ms. Homo Sapiens! What have you got planned for this Sunday to celebrate?

I’m thinking spaghetti and meatball dinners will be popular.

Darwin’s birthday evolves into holiday - Amid challenges, supporters stick up for evolution on Sunday

2

Wow! I’m gonna go the zoo and have lunch in front of some relatives!
No. Seriously. I just decided. That’s what I’m doing.

3

I have to work in the afternoon, but I’m hoping that that night, I can have a quiet dinner followed by a little punctuated equilibrium.

4

I’m going to the Galapagos to kill some finches.

5

I have one son born on Darwin’s birthday, and one son born on Galileo’s birthday :smiley:

That is to say, one on the 12th and one on the 15th. This means we’ll be having a common extended-family-type birthday party for them on Sunday. Coincidentally, spaghetti and meatballs will feature on the menu, though I hadn’t realized the connection until just now…

Now who’s going to put on a fake beard and carry a stuffed beagle around, hmm?

6

I’ll evolve!

7

I can hope that I can have our baby on Sunday then. I’d rather not today since it’s Iris’ Grandmother’s birthday, I really don’t want a Vanetine’s day baby, and the 15th is Iris’ mother’s birthday. I can’t say I’d be unhappy with a Darwin baby, maybe she’ll come out a bit smarter then the rest!

8

I will kill the unfit and mate with their women.

9

I’ll get out the mirror and admire my vestigial wings.

10

(a most sapient remark)
Ooh, cave man tactics…I like that, Og! Come on up to my cave and see me sometime.
I’ll be at work, monitoring unevolved people cope with the results of their faulty gene pool. Or something.
If I were off, I would do something fun. Not sure what, but something.

11

Yeah, the zoo sound like a good idea, if it’s not too cold, or else the Oak Park Conservatory and their carnivorous plant collection.

We might as well start celebrating his bicentennial early, because you know that in 2009, it’s all gonna be about Lincoln.

12

Damn… is it too late to send out Darwin cards? Gift the childrens with Darwin dolls? Holidays get so commercialized these days… :wink:

13

I love those! I Mom-I wanna Darwin doll!

I bookmarked that site–thanks!

14

Knowing me, I’ll probably do something stupid and end up killing myself.

15

I want this one to match my Buddha beanie. (WWID-love it!)

16

I will get really smashed, because I want to ensure the survival of the fittest brain cells…

17

Another little thinker:

:slight_smile:

18

I’m going to:

  1. Move around, because I’m an animal.
  2. Stiffen my spine, because I’m a chordate.
  3. Show a little backbone, because I’m a vertebrate.
  4. Breath the air, because I’m a tetrapod.
  5. Lay a shelled egg, because I’m an amniote.
  6. Lactate, because I’m a mammal.
  7. Cross my eyes, because I’m a primate.
  8. Craft a tool, because I’m anthropoid. And finally . . .
  9. Cogitate on deep and profound thoughts, because I’m human.

Does that cover it?

Actually, I can’t do (5) and (6), because I’m not female. Damn.

19

Looking at that site again, I must mention this:

I want one!

Um, I was planning on going to church…
