    This is all good but you should remember that Darwin's birth date is merely a theory and not a fact

    Across the Atlantic, Abraham Lincoln also came into the world, destined to preserve the most important experiment in human liberties.

    Why does the topic title remind me of Vogon Poetry?
    Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
    Thy micturations are to me
    As plurdled gabbleblotchits
    On a lurgid bee
    That mordiously hath bitled out
    Its earted jurtles
    Into a rancid festering [drowned out by moaning and screaming]
    Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles
    Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts
    And living glupules frart and slipulate
    Like jowling meated liverslime
    Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
    And hooptiously drangle me
    With crinkly bindlewurdles,
    Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon
    See if I don't.
    "Don't believe everything you read online."

    A great day indeed.

    And a great thread also, for having references to both the Hitchiker's Guide and the Jabberwocky on the opening page.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    They were discussing this on radio 4 this morning... they pretty much came to the conclusion that what both did was probably inevitable anyway... even if that is true.... they are two top guys who changed the world (at the very least more quickly...)

    I just find it ironic that we killed a bunch of people who wanted leave a country to "preserve" liberty...



    /mind you, my regionalism means I'm not rooting for the South...

    The civil war is very misunderstood by traditionalists and there southern brethren who like to whitewash the peculiar institution.

    The bloodiest war in American history is the most misconstrued.

    Certainly, and that goes for both sides. Really, both sides should've lost.
