Darwins Curve

Curve on San Francisco Bay Bridge at Yerba Buena Island fitted in late 2009 which challenges the 200 thousand plus daily drivers with Darwins Law of "natural selection".

In the two months after the "S" curve was built into the Bay Bridge; 16 million vehicles crossed the bridge with only 44 accidents at Darwins Curve.

Charles Darwin

An English Naturalist who was the author of “Origin of Species” as well as several other books. Charles Darwin revolutionized biology with the scientific theory of evolution. Evolution is Descent with modification. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species. This is a scientific fact and the theory of evolution has never been disproved much as some would like to see that happen.

For some reason this inspires great hostility among people who have obviously never read or done research on evolution. (As evidenced by the questions about why are there still apes. Answer: Evolution isn’t a ladder, it more like a tree that has many branches. Humans didn’t evolve from modern day apes such as chimpanzees… humans and chimps have a common ancestor. The descendents of that common ancestor split off into different species over millions of years. )

Charles Darwin had ten children, three of whom died early. Many of his surviving children and their grandchildren would later achieve notability themselves.

Darwin Akbar

Another parody of the phrase "Allah Ackbar," used most often when a suicide bomber accidentally blows himself up prematurely in a "work accident."

Technically means "Darwin is greater," but refers to the Darwin Awards which are annually given to those individuals who accidentally kill themselves in the most idiotic way, thereby (thankfully) removing their genes from the human gene pool -- a comic inversion of the concept "survival of the fittest."

After Habib prematurely blew himself up, taking Abdul and Mohammed with him, his neighbors gathered next to the rubble and shouted "Darwin Akbar!"

Pulling a Darwin

Not to be confused with the scientific theory of a branching pattern of evolution; pulling a Darwin actually pertains to a particular style of professionalism.

Pulling a Darwin is when one abandons his/her social and career obligations in order to fully commit to a spontaneous act of singing.

Person 1: So what's going on with you today man?
Person 2: TROLOLOLOLOOOO
Person 1: Ugh guess someone is pulling a Darwin today

Going Darwin

The actions of a person that will cause them to remove themselves from the gene pool.

When he entered his homemade space rocket I knew he was going Darwin

Cognitive Darwinism

The conscious decision to choose the less favorable of two choices resulting in greater probability of a bad outcome.

Refusing to vaccinate to protect yourself is cognitive Darwinism at its finest.
