Next Thursday, on university campuses across the nation (including The University), some idiot will be handing out free copies of a reprint of the first edition of Darwin's Origin of Species with a fifty page introduction attempting to prove it wrong.
A group of students and professors are organizing a protest.
We will be handing out bananas.

People never ceases to amaze me. The problem is that it is nigh on impossible to combat irrationality with rationality in such matters.
So, if the banana fits a human hand because a god made it so, then that leads to the question, which came first, the banana or the monkey? And what about the fools who make spurious conclusions? Can they explain the popularity of hamburgers and potato chips?
Egad, when I attended a university, there were tables upon tables set up in front of libraries and main gates, looking for volunteers to save nature, to end bigotry, to register voters or to stop wars. Things changes and now fools are pretending to have intelligence. It's too bad we didn't have tables asking for volunteers to stop ignorance and religious extremeism.
Just think - all you have to do is rip out the intro and you've got a free copy of one of the world's greatest books. Good on 'em, I say!
Scriptor - well, one of the world's greatest books with some important parts removed - see http://www.usnews.com/blogs/god-and-country/2009/10/30/how-creationist-origin-distorts-darwin.html
