Stop the presses: Charles Darwin is blogging

Were Charles Darwin alive today, he would be a keen blogger. I mean, we've all seen how well suited his Beagle diaries are to the blog format, and, as anyone who's browsed Darwin-Online can tell you, to say the man was prolific would be a serious understatement.

And so it was with great delight that I discovered that Charles Darwin has indeed started a blog over on Nature Network called (wait for it...) Charles Darwin's blog. But don't let the rather mirthless name fool you; it's chock full of humour, history and, of course, science.
