It's for the 150th anniversary of On the Origin of Species.

Darwin was neither an athiest or a magician. Was he a skeptic? Is that something that makes people unique?

Does anyone have a copy of the altered header, anymore?

I coulda sworn I saw Darwin's head, in there, yesterday!

It's still there when I look. On the forums header, not the JREF main page.

He developed a theory that overturned everything what we knew about a subject. There are only a handful of people who we can say did that. He also was probably one of the last people ever to do that.

It means you are very perceptive and you don't let anything get by you.

ETA: It is a spoof of an old commercial, don't remember what for, but uses your name and your JREF sign up date instead of the company name and when it was founded.

But why would you say that?!

You are saying that an old commercial uses my name? What uses my name?

What does that have to do with what we are talking about?

Until Fermi's Paradox is renamed Fermi's Observation, perhaps.

Oooo! It's back!

I am attaching a screen capture, so everyone can see what the Darwin version of the logo was like, whenever they change it back to Randi, again.

Because it is true.

No, I parodied an old tv commercial.


What does that have to do with what we are talking about?
nothing. Sorry.

ETA: You might want to change your link in the OP, it is going to the current banner, not the one in question. (use the one wowbagger attached)

JREF sold some James Randi dolls some time back. Only they were the same as the Charles Darwin dolls. Maybe the accessories were different that is all.

I bet both had this warning [Note: Contains small parts and sharp pins. Not for young children.]
Charles Darwin doll + sharp pins = Creationist Voodoo doll
