I'm about to embark on a busy weekend, JelloHeads, and I probably won't be posting anything until Monday. So in the meantime, I thought I'd leave you with this sighting of the Flying Spaghetti Monster:

Because ... you just never know ....

Happy Darwin Day!

What's that? You didn't know that today is Charles Darwin's birthday? Or that today is International Darwin Day? Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster! You'd better get with it!

Darwin Day is a recently instituted celebration intended to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin on February 12, 1809. The day is also an opportunity to highlight Darwin's contribution to science and to promote science in general.

You can find events in your part of the world at the Darwin Day website. There's something for everyone, including a barbeque in Australia; a symposium in Austria; a potluck in Calgary; atheists, beer, and books in Copenhagen; lots and lots of events in Italy that I can't understand because I don't speak Italian; and lots and lots of other things around the world.

First line from the book I'm currently reading:

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.”
Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf

“Summers in Boston were just as hot in 1842 as they are today.”
The Peabody Sisters, by Megan Marshall

“When my family first moved to North Carolina, we lived in a rented house three blocks from the school where I would begin third grade.”
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris

“It was seven minutes after midnight.”
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon

“There is no reason good can't triumph over evil, if only angels will get organized along the lines of the mafia.”
A Man Without a Country, by Kurt Vonnegut

“My suffering left me sad and gloomy.”
Life of Pi, by Yann Martel

“The world outside the window was in flames.”
Blue Shoe, by Anne Lamott
