Darwin won these awards. He won The Royal Medal (1853), The Wallaston Medal (1859), The Copley Medal (1864).
Some of his Christian rivals insist he was naturally selected to win these.

Robin Hood to peasant, "Take this gold, my poor friend."

Peasant, "I'm rich!"

Robin Hood, "You're WHAT?"

A man goes to the doctor, worried about his wife’s temper.
The doctor asks, “What’s the problem?” The man says, “Doctor, I don’t know what to do.
Every day my wife seems to lose her temper for no reason. It scares me.”
The doctor says, “I have a cure for that. When it seems that your wife is getting angry, just take a glass of water and start swishing it in your mouth.
Just swish and swish but don’t swallow it until she either leaves the room or calms down.”
Two weeks later, the man comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.
The man says, “Doctor, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my wife started losing it, I swished with water.
I swished and swished, and she calmed right down! How does a glass of water do that?”
The doctor says, “The water itself does nothing. It’s keeping your mouth shut that does the trick.”

No.

It's reality.

Perhaps you want to watch the USA crash and burn.

I don't, and I am not even American, do not live there have never been part of the whole fiasco.

Nevertheless, it is a tragedy to me from afar that a once respected world leader is determined to convert itself into a third world country.

I guess the USA will simply have to learn the hard way.

I do feel for the inevitable pain my many US friends will go through, but there is nothing I can do about it from outside.

Face it. We were talking about a nation that put a man on the moon. We are now talking about an idiot in the White House. How low are you willing to sink, America?

No, Trump could never hit that tree (not the willow, the other one) five times out of seven in this wind.

I will start worshipping at the altar of nihilism because nothing is sacred

At a bar last night with a friend.

Looked across the room and saw a couple of half-drunk chicks who are aging badly acting like a couple of idiots.

I said, "that's us in ten years."

My friend said, "that's a mirror, you stupid bitch!"

English chess champions are now banned from world tournaments.

It was deemed they have an unfair advantage. Their queen never bloody dies!
