Y'all know what time it is! Today is the 199th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, and hundreds of organizations will celebrate the date "in honor of the discoveries and life of the man who famously described biological evolution via natural selection." I'm so excited, I totally forgot all about that other guy's birthday yesterday — what's his name? Ah, it's not important; I gotta get me a fake beard for my theme party.
The Albany, N.Y.-based Institute for Humanist Studies helped sponsor hundreds of events in cities across the world to mark the occasion, so you'll be able to party down with fellow Darwinistas from Dhaka to Berkeley. To be fair, the events feature more picnics and guest lectures than out-and-out boozefests, but any celebration that can free us from the tyranny of this guy is OK by me.
