In a coincidence that can only be called suspicious, today is also Galápagos Day, for the formal annexation of the Galápagos Islands by Ecuador, 2/12/1832.
As another famed scientist, Herman Melville, noted, the islands are inhabited by "an incomputable host of fiends, anteaters, man-haters, and salamanders".
