Charles Darwin menaces an iguana.

Picture Charles Darwin conducting his research on his world-changing expedition to the Galapagos islands. Do you imagine him serious and scholarly, or youthful and enthusiastic? I bet what you do not picture him doing is spending an afternoon repeatedly throwing an iguana into the sea in the name of science. The same iguana.

A marine iguana, for once not being bullied by Charles Darwin.

He did, though. From his Journal of the Voyage of the Beagle:


It's an arresting mental image, isn't it? I would love to know how many times 'several' is. Surely at least six. Nor had Charlie finished playing tricks on lizards:


I hope these two iguanas were related. 'You'll never guess what happened to me today!' 'Wait, wait, me first...'

Have you heard of the Darwin Awards? They're given to people who die doing stupid things.

Voted!

The randomness of your blog never fails to disappoint

Funny how scientists of yore were so quick to anthropomorphise, at a time when animal cruelty was rampant – now we're not supposed to ascribe human thoughts or feelings to animals but having compassion for them goes without saying. There's got to be some sort of interesting social study in there. (probably not as fun as chucking iguanas into the sea, though.)

Due to a lot of hardships and circumstances beyond my control, my scores were in the ditch. It will literally take way too long for me to try sending (3 letters to the 3 credit bureaus) and waiting for the negative items to eventually be deleted. However, I searched online for credit specialist and I saw a review on credit magic about a credit specialist and I must admit I was impressed. I quickly emailed him on; arstrongcyberwizard@yahoo.com Whatsapp +8616608642225 asking if he could help me fix my credit score. He replied and after discussing the process, we moved on and guess what? He actually fixed my credit and raised my score from 380 to 850. All debts were checked as paid and the late payments appeared as on time payment. He deleted the inquires, student loans, medical bills and the bankruptcy filled 2016. I strongly recommend him for your credit repair. You can contact him and enjoy his service Whatsapp +8616608642225

I rarely share my story with people, not only because it put me at the lowest point ever but because it made me a person of ridicule among family and friends. I put all I had into Binary Options ($690,000) after hearing great testimonies about this new investment

 strategy. I was made to believe my investment would triple, it started good and I got returns (not up to what I had invested). Gathered more and involved a couple family members, but I didn't know I was setting myself up for the kill, in less than no time all we had put ($820,000) was gone. It almost seem I had set them up, they came at me strong and hard. After searching and looking for how to make those scums pay back, I got introduced to maryshea03@gmail.com to WhatsApp her +15623847738.who helped recover about 80% of my lost funds within a month.

Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection cant
cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful
work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online
on how they were cured of herpes, HIV, diabetics etc by Dr. voodoo herbal
medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the
power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with HIV for the past 7 years but
Dr. voodoo cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband
to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God
be the glory, they were cured too .I know is hard to believe but am a
living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster,
he cast spell to restore broken marriages and he cast good luck spells to
prosper and excel in life. Contact Dr voodoo on Whatsapp or call him

Before i started my journey of Investment, i promised myself i would never be scammed, and i put in many effort to make sure i made very deep research before i dived into any form of investment. so far i still havnt fell in the wrong hands and i dont think i ever will. That being said, i cant help but give credit to these guys who have always helped me invest my money in the right places. I made $13,570 with only a $500 investment just within the first 13 days. It was a very nice feeling, i started with them 7 months ago and i am still very happy about it and want to share it with anyone who really wants to make money sitting at home or just by their savings. i got really rescued by this opportunity, my life was almost down the drain when my police friend told me about them. you can reach out to them to simply consult before you start, it is completely free.
