Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln! February 12, 1809 was one hell of a day.

 

 

The guys running the Darwin Facebook page are sponsoring a call/seminar at 12ET with a number of the world's leading scientists. Details in the link.

It makes sense that Lincoln and Darwin were born on my birthday (different year :thumbsup: ).

Watched part of a NPR special on Lincoln last night (Tivo'd it so I'll catch the rest tonight) - pretty amazing individual when you think about the fact that the poor guy was actually pretty messed up physically and mentally. History now shows that he was likely a sufferer of severe (like very severe) depression in an era where there were not medicines or protocols to treat it.

 

Much of what we now know about him from a popular perspective is largely exaggerated. Even still, he was an amazing leader and powerful orator. No wonder why some consider him to be the greatest president ever.
