"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Soldier, won't you marry me?
Soldier, soldier will you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you, When I have no hat to put on?
Off to the haberdasher she did go,
As fast as she could run,
Bought him a hat, the best that there was,
And the soldier put it on.
Soldier, soldier will you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you, When I have no coat to put on?
Off to the tailor she did go,
As fast as she could run,
Bought him a coat, the best that there was,
And the soldier put it on.
Soldier, soldier will you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you, When I have no boots to put on?
Off to the cobbler she did go,
As fast as she could run,
Bought him a pair, the best that was there,
And the soldier put it on.
Soldier, soldier will you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you,
With a wife and three kids back home.
