And while I'm in a ranting humour..

What about the original Beagle? HMS Beagle, the ship that singleboatedly changed intellectual history almost certainly lies under five metres of mud, mud, glorious mud in the River Crouch near Paglesham in the English County (and once Kingdom) of Essex.

Shouldn't a proud, self confident, scientifically advanced, fourth largest economy in the world country (Britain) be thinking about excavating and raising this icon of adventure, courage and above all scientific progress to mark Darwin's 200th? So in that spirit, and to the tune of What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor:

A min
What shall we do with the sunken Beagle?
G
What shall we do with the sunken Beagle?
Amin
What shall we do with the sunken Beagle?
Dig the bloody thing up!

Amin
Shift mud and up she rises
G
Shift mud and up she rises
Amin
Shift mud and up she rises
Raised on Darwin's birthday.

Arrrrr. Feel free to contribute new verses in comments. We'll have a fundraising MP3 on iTunes yet.

And it'd get so far up creationist noses, because have they found the Ark? No, no, I don't think so Tim, oh really? and finally an island of sanity at Talk Origins' Ark debunking page.
