I believe it was the Origin of Species, a book, that made him so famous. He basically laid out a theory of evolution. I could be wrong though. haven't had a Bio class in a while :)

Lazy, and oblivious.

You know, the time it took to type up this post is probably a lot longer than going to google and doing a quick search.

That line of thought can be applied to every single post on these message boards.

Actually, the Darwin awards came first. Charles (at the time Davis) read them and adapted the stories of stupid peopel dying to animal speciation. In addition, he was so moved by the stories that he changed his last name.

unbelivable :Q

I'm not sure what's worse...that he's too lazy to look it up, or that he flat out doesn't know.

Hey Jhill, can you find the Pacific Ocean on a map?

No I can't.

I knew who he was. I knew he believed in evolution. I just didn't know why Stupid acts were considered darwin awards. I though his theory was natural selection.

I guess I wasnt thinking.

The thought behind the awards is that they're survival of the fittest in action. People who lose their lives or lose the ability to reproduce because of an act of great stupidity are doing the race a favor by skimming their genes out of the pool.

Darwin stated what everybody always knew but were afraid to say. People are apes and the Bible isn't literally true. People have gotten used to this, but the apes have never forgiven. They invented Cretan Science to try to stay the tide.
