Yes, it’s Canada Day, and I do love the country I’m in, especially when I compare it to what’s going on with my neighbours to the south. Hey, have you guys got habeus corpus back yet? I hear rights are good…
But it’s also the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace first presenting the idea of natural selection to the public! The Beagle Project blog has an interesting writeup on the event. Update: Wired News has a good article too.
One hundred and fifty years, and scientists ever since have been doing what scientists do with theories — try to prove them wrong — and they haven’t. Every experiment has added more and more support to evolution and natural selection, and refined its ideas and exposed its mechanisms until it has become a shining example of how science discovers and verifies the truth.
One hundred and fifty years of this, and we still have clowns who claim it’s false because it goes against the literal reading of the fairy stories they’ve based their lives on…

I don’t write in English very well so, try to understand me if you can.
Well, we’re having an exposition about Darwin here.
Ahn… Ok, first, do you have “Mr. Punch”? I read Sandman on the internet then I thought I could read”Mr Punch” too but we I didn’t find. Do you have any website where I can find it and read it?
Ok, I hope you can understand because I’m terrible in the grammar.
* Neil Gaiman really came to Brazil to go to the FLIP?[it's an expo, I think]
thank U, thank U, thank U
It looks like Amazon.com has Mr. Punch, though it says it will take 3-6 weeks to ship it. There may be online booksellers closer to you that have it too.
By the way, I am a very big fan of the Brazilian drink “Caipirinha”!
The ‘detainees’ at Gitmo got Habeus Corpus recently. Hopefully the average American will have the same rights as tortured terrorists soon.
