Happy 204th Birthday Mr. Charles Darwin, FRS!!

Today is the unofficial Darwin Day and the official birthday of Mr. Charles Robert Darwin.  While most folks probably know the name Darwin, fewer likely fully understand his contribution to modern Biology....we'll actually Evolution by means of Natural Selection IS the central pillar of modern Biology, so yeah, it's kind of important.  With this is mind, Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) has put forth a resolution in the United States House of Representatives to make today, February 12th, Darwin Day.  I can think of no better idea. If you would like to find out more you can get details here (and if you think this is important contact your representative or senator).
