Happy Birthday!
It's the 200th anniversary of the birth of two great men of the 19th century. I'm sure you're all aware of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, but on that same day in 1809, Charles Darwin came into this world as well. Check out Blogging the Origin for a chapter by chapter summary of The Origin of Species, published 150 years ago. The two would lead the world to great changes in the second half of the 1800s.
May 27, 1968, pales in comparison.

Referring to the Origin of Species as "Great" changes can only be used in the loosest and most editorial sense.
Johnny, we used believe you had inherent dignity bestowed on you by a creator, but now you're just a grown up germ who rose fortuitously from the slime. Great job!
