"It's one of the most important books ever written. It presents one of the greatest ideas anyone has ever had. More than 20 years in the making, "On the Origin of Species" arrived on the scene in 1859. This 502 page book would go on to revolutionize how we understand the living world. It would introduce the general public to the simple process responsible for the remarkable history and astounding diversity of life: Evolution."
"When you think about it, a complete taxonomic "Tree of Life" can be more accurately described as a "Tree of Death". That tree would also make the most horrifyingly-amazing mess when Fall comes around."
"Infinity is a concept so simple to understand and yet so hard to conceive. In our everyday lives we work with finite things, the idea of anything being infinite can be hard to wrap your mind around. That's where the monkeys come in.The infinite monkey theorem illustrates just how long infinite time can be. It states that a hypothetical monkey* randomly hitting keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will almost surely eventually type out the entire works of Shakespeare. Turns out you don't need Shakespeare to write Shakespeare, it could be done randomly. And really, it wouldn't just end there; with an infinite amount of time the monkey would also eventually type out everything that has ever been written and that will be written. It would type out every possible thing that can be produced by a typewriter. All by random. Because infinity is such a long time that everything that is possible, no matter how unlikely, will eventually occur."
"Two for the gills, one for the body."
"Science is fun! And at Aperture the science never runs out. Say, what's that giant plant making it's way through the facility you ask? Why, it's Solanum tuberosum, commonly known as the potato. Looks like somebody must have left their science experiment in the basement for too long."
