Tammy has composed two haiku in honor of Darwin Day at my request.
Would Darwin be pleased?
How would he see the changes
And the sharp debates?
Darwin showed us well
How we fit into nature.
We must take our place.

See if you can spot the rather unfortunate spelling error in this caption from the Houston Chronicle:
I’m hoping this is simply a typo!
As many of you many know I have been working on some video to portray the beauty and diversity of deep sea mounts and the devastation caused to them by deep sea trawling. I stumbled upon an old news article from New Zealand in which I found a great quote by Steve O’Shea on deep sea trawling -
In effect, it’s the same as trying to herd cows up with a net and dragging a net through a farm. You catch a few cows. You catch the farmers wife. You catch a cattle trough. All this other stuff is incidental bi-catch, filth, bottom filth they refer to it. We just don’t do that on land. Why are we doing it in the oceans?
