Beware of two-minute videos on evolution

Greetings.

Jewish date:  23 Marḥeshwan 5770 (Parashath Ḥayye-Sarah).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Sesame Street Anniversary, Marine Corps Day.

Worthy causes of the day:  “IBR Message Center | UANI:  Send a United Message:  Sign the petition and urge these companies to stop doing business with the Iranian regime by sending them a message today” and “Take Action | UANI:  Message to the Los Angeles MTA on Light Rail Contract”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Doomed Dome: The Future That Never Was”
• “Visualising the Guardian Datablog”

Today’s weird thing is “The Winner: Evolution in Two Minutes”.  The winner of a contest for two-minute videos on the fundamentals of evolution is a rock song.  Enjoy, share the weirdness, and be surprised how much information can be packed into two minutes.
