Yeah, and notice that the cover of the book in no indicates it is something more than just a free copy of On the Origin of Species. So, if I were aware of the anniversary I wouldn't at all be surprised to see copied being handed out by some group.

Besides, people handing out books free on campus is how I ended up with several dozen bibles and the collected oeuvre of the Hare Krishnas by the time I graduated.

It is also why I have a half dozen sample size packets of dog treats in my desk at work since they were standing outside the BART station for a week. Someday I might have a dog, or skip lunch and be really hungry.

ETA: Actually watching video now. Who wants to tell him he got the title of the book wrong?
I happened to have just read the chapter about Francis Galton in The Drunkard's Walk today.

Is that interesting, well written? I heard an interview with the author but then forgot about the book.

And speaking of randomness, I strongly recommend everybody listen to this episode of Radio Lab on stochasticity. And internalize everything said in the first 20 minutes.

It's pretty good. The statistical information is probably not new to you, but he spends a lot of time on the history of probability mathematics statistics so that keeps it interesting.

So anyone have any plans for Nov 19th? It might be fun to get a group together to meet on the various campuses with signs that read:

FYI:
Book by Darwin
Forward by Bible Thumping Loonies

Or it might be fun to go hand out copies of the Bible with a foreward debunking creationism glued in.
