The Origin of Verses

Sorry. Having trouble coming up with a pun that fits the intersection of Darwinism and poetry. The authors of the site just call it Darwinian Poetry, and write, “The goal of this project is to see if non-negotiated collaboration can evolve interesting poetry using (un)natural selection.”

It’s very interesting!

Want your kids to have the fun of learning about dinosaurs without all that misleading, distracting evolutionary theory? Want to throw science out the window in favor of good old fundamentalist belief? Have I got the theme park for you! (It’s NY Times – it didn’t make me sign in, but sometimes NY Times does. Worth reading if you can).

While digging up more info on this for one of my classes, I came across a great site about it, which includes a Real Player video clip of Miss Betty the Crow doing her stuff. Yay!
