I could look it up but i'm lazy.

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.

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.

im surprised you know how to guess.
