Happy Chinese New Year and Darwin’s Day!!

Happy Darwin Day! (February 12)

Charles Darwin's Anniversary

Happy Birthday, Mr. Darwin! Your work on the origin of species was, and always will be crucial to the understanding and the appreciation of biology!

And let this day serve as a reminder that the creationist/ID movement to undermine science education is far from over, and we must keep on promoting the Theory of Evolution, and debunk those silly creationist/ID explanations!

Happy Chinese New Year! (February 14-29)

Happy Chinese New Year 2010!

What a coincidence! The Year of the Tiger will officially start on February 14, which is Valentine’s Day! How would Chinese couples deal with this? After all, they should be with their family on the first day of the Lunar Year, but then, it’s Valentine! Just a small rant.

But anyway, I wish all of you a Happy Tiger Year! And if you would, wear red tomorrow for a prosperous year!*

*This is just Chinese culture/superstition. Don’t take it seriously.

PS: Going to a Trip for a While

I’ll be on a trip to China for a couple of days so I won’t be updating my blog for a while. (China blocks Blogger, and don’t have the time to write posts anyway). I’ll get my blog updated once I come home, and perhaps I’ll write about Chinese folk religion. :-)

Anyone who believes in "Intelligent Design" hasn't heard of male pattern baldness of bad vision.

Nice photoshop! 201 years since the mind that was to conceive the great theory of evolution entered the earth. Happy (belated) Chinese New Year to you as well. Happens to coincide with President's Day weekend this year, so I (sadly) only got one day off school.
