June 1st - Beard of the Day: Charles Darwin

Just so we're all on the same page - It is now June and the Hawks are still playing hockey. And we're still posting these beards.
I probably don't need to tell you much about Charles Darwin.. you know who he is and you know that he had an amazing beard. Darwin's writings and discoveries are easily translated into the Stanley Cup Finals. The game is clearly about the survival of the fittest. Duncan Keith just put in over 27 minutes of TOI in his 100th game this season and that doesn't include his time in the Olympics.
Want to go deeper? OK. We're also watching the evolution of the Hawks on many levels. We've seen them change from the 65 point team in the first season after the lock-out to being just two games away from bringing the Cup back to Chicago. The Flyers aren't going to be easy to dispatch though, so the Hawks are going to need to change and adapt their game as the series shifts to Philly.
Also, what a hell of a beard, eh?

Wish I could photoshop.
We need one of those little evolutionary progression pictures (you know, a monkey on the left, ending at a walking human on the right), showing the evolution of hockey players (or maybe a specific hockey player).
I know that - with this talented group - this will be some funny shit.

Sopel should be like halfway between ape and hockey player
The only sin is stupidity
There's also this
which could be part of the Sopel family tree
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."

Thanks! I knew I could count on one of the artistic genii here to gimme a chuckle!!

Jesus Christ Havlat would disapprove of such blasphemy.

I love this dude
Evolution is the shit and I was such a nerd for punnett squares.
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!

Me too
Me doing punnett squares for eye color in grade school led to my mother realizing for the first time that I did not actually have the brown eyes she always assumed I had. Way to pay attention to your kid, mom.
I was scarred for life
until the other day, when I found out she has no memory of the fact that I broke my hand at age 8. Now I just need therapy. I’m obviously NOT the favorite daughter in real life.
good thing you have Trixie
my brother got all butthurt when my dad let me have the remote to play with the new TV my parents bought, and sit on the couch.
I’m just saying, when you make yourself a scarce commodity, there are benefits when you actually show up.

PREACH IT!
I got a block of wood to carry around, it soothes my superstitious soul. If the knocking doesn't help I can just beat myself over the head with it until I don't care anymore.
it's entirely possible this isn't sarcasm
I just hope
you give eqaul time to the Flying Spaghetti Monster instead of forcing your blasphemous beliefs on me.
Can't you wait until
September 19?
These are the SCF. We can only handle one religious experience at a time.

He exemplifies a nihilist.

Dan Bernstein
Is reporting rumors of Kim johnnson “pulling a Roger Dorn”
The only sin is stupidity
as in using an "injury" to worm out
and protect his career after hockey?

He said the word carpetmunching
Implying infidelity at one point when he was not on Hawks with a current players wife.
But now I’m confused. Did dorn nail the cathcers wife or the other way around.
The only sin is stupidity
Reply fail
I read but don’t post much. And I’m not very intelligent.

So Bernstein mixed the metaphor all the fuck up
I’m still dumb though.
The only sin is stupidity
The very existence of the mouth breathing Daniel Carcillo...
proves Darwin’s theories were bullshit
Great beard though.
Well, nah...
After we evolved from apes, the apes were still around, even though the intermediary cavemen guys weren’t (unless you count the geico dudes and unfrozen caveman lawyer).
Now, if you want to go strictly by science, like scientists recommend, you must conclude that carcillo is a shaved chimpanzee that they taught to play hockey. Which seems perfectly reasonable to me. Science be praised! Darwin and his beautiful beard win again.

He's so awesome we have him on our money

Fun Fact
Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born on the same day – February 12, 1809.
"Great story. Compelling, and rich." ~ Ron Burgundy
"...and Gary Cooper slides into second base with a stand up double." ~ Ralph Kiner
They both died in April too
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
Can you imagine if Twitter was around when Darwin was?
I don’t have a joke for this, just hoping you guys fill in the blanks.
I'm not superstitious. I'm just a little stitious.
Guess who was born on the same day, same year?
Another hero of mine, and a BOTD candidate, and he’s on God-fearin’ American money.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
Used to have
a Darwin fish on my car before it got totaled. I changed it up and now I have:
I am such a nerd.

I don't know about the U.S.
but in the U.K. the census has kind of become a problem because so many people enter their religion as “Jedi.” I don’t know how true this is, but recently it’s been rumoured that pretty soon, Jedi may become a recognised religion in the U.K.
I heard that
but I think I heard that for New Zealand, which would be really easy since they’ve got like, what? 4 million people?
would countries have to pay George Lucas royalties if they listed Jedi as a religion in fact books etc?
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
I wonder if it would be the opposite
Like, how words like Band-Aid and Kleenex lose the brand association rights once they enter the lexicon. Maybe if Jedi gets recognized, he can’t collect royalties from its use anymore.
hmm
he still has the rights to Droid, according to the tiny text under the motorolla ads.
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
I think in 2001 census there was nearly 2% Jedi’s or something. It was big news, obviously. But in 2006/2007, I can’t remember, it was back below 1%.
New Zealand's 4th best Philadelphia Flyers fan
You're right
1.5% of NZers wrote “Jedi” in 2001, making it the second-largest religion in NZ (had the responses been taken seriously, which they weren’t). Five years later, the number fell by more than half.
Just another step on George's plan to worldwide domination.
And I for one am going to be on the right side for once. I’m hearing great things about this “death star” thingy he’s building.
I'm not superstitious. I'm just a little stitious.

I just read
that Europeans and Asians may be 1-4% Neandertal.
It’s not out of the question that Pronger is an outlier
