Walking with Charles Darwin

 
Stavros Isaiadis posted this photograph of Darwin's walking stick on his blog Journey Through a Burning Mind [Damn those Immoral Darwinists!].



I'm sure Darwin used it while strolling on the Sandwalk. Undoubtedly the skull reminded him of his evil plan to destroy religion by publishing a book about evolution.

  1. ...also, he beat up the whale and ripped the tusks off an elephant *with his bare hands* to get the whalebone and ivory to make that stick. Because he was, y'know, evil.

    (Also: skull. Scull is what rowers do.)
