Darwin Day is finally here!

At the very least, this will decrease the number of Darwin Day-planning emails in my inbox. I'll attend one lecture this evening in celebration and leave it at that. No Darwin-themed tshirts, no tortoise soup planned for dinner, but maybe I'll put on the next Netflixed disc of Planet Earth.

But you can count on Carl Zimmer and his kin to have a unique take on Darwin Day -- the words that Darwin first used in the English language, including rodeo.
