Been a bit preoccupied with barnacles, orchids, &c. lately. Sincere apologies to you all. Out to the greenhouse for a bit. brb kthx

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

Hungover from yesterday's bash. Thanks to all who sent cheers, & to all who stopped by Down House for snacks. Now back to work. Lots to do.

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

You are TOTALLY missing this party. Still at it, birthday's almost over. Drunk. Probably happening for a few more hours, so drop by.

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

Hi everyone. Forgot to mention earlier: you're all invited out to Down House for a birthday cookout this afternoon. Hope you can make it!

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

@scienceatlife So touching! Why humans drink poison to find happiness will always confound me, but still...hand it over. *hic*

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

@ARWallace Sir, we are Gentlemen. We have never not been, as you say, 'friends'.

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

Sorry, everyone: been stalking barnacles for a while, then taking notes about the weather. Tuckered out. Hey is it my birthday soon or what?

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine. But barnacles? Seriously? Still: oh how I ADORE them.

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

I'm a scientist, but I can't stand MATH. A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there.

The phrenologists say I'm suited to be a clergyman b/c I've got a "Bump of Reverence" developed enough for 10 priests or whatever. ummWTF?!

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed SRSLY

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

Can't get the damn platypus to make sense, no matter what I do. Went back to barnacles for a couple of days, but damn they're boring. EFF.

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

OK SRSLY: I totally don't get the platypus. I've tried, but just can't figure it out. Gonna spend the afternoon sketching out ideas.

[Charles Darwin @charles_darwin]

Bored. Tree of Life? I think I need a Beer of Life. AM I RIGHT?
