2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Do we have to have a Hitler image? It would be nice to celebrate Darwin's birthday by seeing him without Hitler for once. WėąṣėḷőįďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 19:53, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Well Genghis did it so ask him if there is a good reason for it. I was annoyed because when I first saw it not only did I see that picture but the random quote was having a dig a Ken. I agree though we should honour the man not, make points at CP. I would like to believe that this website will out last them and will in fact be better when they are a forgotten old joke on the internet. - User 19:58, 11 January 2009 (EST)
I've changed it to the "hat" image of Darwin. Apart from removing the Hitler angle, I really like the symmetry of Darwin's and Chimp Che's facial expressions. WėąṣėḷőįďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 20:02, 11 January 2009 (EST)
The Hitwin was really put in as a placeholder. There was a very nice graphic in SciAm from the official Darwin Day website (www.darwinday.org) but the site appears to be down at the moment and can't find a copy anywhere else on the web. Take out the Ken thing, it seemed like a good idea at the time but you're right, we should venerate the old dude.

Thanks Genghis and Weaseloid. It is so nice the way we all just get along, tomorrow I think I will bring in cake for everyone. - User 20:08, 11 January 2009 (EST)
I don't really like the chimp image. Can't we find something better? ħumanUser talk:Human 15:10, 26 January 2009 (EST)
