Hal_Crawford 15 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Bicentennial birthday greetings go out today to Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin, both born 2/12/1809. Happy 200! Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Speaking only for myself, I am very, very glad that each and every one of my ancestors successfully reproduced! Link to post Share on other sites

BrentAllen 10 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Traditionally, this used to be around the end of National Boy Scout Week, which was the week that covered February 8 and 12. Belated Happy Birthday to the BSA (Feb. 8). Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Certainly our ancestors reproduced, the question is, have we evolved? Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well, I don't know about you OGE, but I haven't skinned MY knuckles lately. Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Both men had a huge influence on the future. Happy birthday indeed. On that sentiment I finally watched the film 'Expelled' with Ben Stein as the kick off for Darwin week. It lived up to every one of my expectations. OGE, I'd say that we have evolved, considering especially that evolution doesn't necessarily lead to anything other than the best fit to habitats of the time. However, I guess that if you were implying 'improved' when you asked about 'evolved', who knows? There are still a lot of knee injuries out there. On the other hand, we've invented some mighty nice prosthetics. Link to post Share on other sites
