A bunch of naked apes with a forest full of wires, plastic letters, circuits, etc., tried numerous combinations over several million years until they came up with a laptop with a Pentium IV processor. Darwin was pleased.

I love the picture on the website - Darwin with a laptop.
It is a nice picture, but it raises some important questions, such as, did the laptop gradually appear in Darwin's lap as a result of many small changes over time, or did some intelligent agent place it there?

Has anyone posted this reference yet. There was a short blurb about it on BBC World Service this evening:
The Complete Charles Darwin On Line, free of charge, from the Charles Darwin Trust and Cambridge University.
darwin-online.org.uk/ (I got it through Google.)
Presently the site contains 50,000 pages of text and 40,000 images, with more to come and links to ancillary sites.
