[Taxacom] Birthday Boys

[Steven R. Hill]

Happy 200th Birthday Wishes  ! to:


Charles Darwin
and
Abe Lincoln


Both born on 12 February 1809 !



I've often wondered if President Lincoln heard of or read Charles 
Darwin's works before his untimely end.  Perhaps he would have had no 
trouble accepting the evidence.
