Reasons to build a replica HMS Beagle...

because we want more students to say (and do) this. Cartoon from XKCD, which you should visit daily.

Update: Nunatak points out in comments that this completely ace cartoon is available on a t-shirt here. No thorax is complete without one.

Is there anyone out there who could photoshop Charles Darwin wearing a 'stand back, i'm going try science' t-shirt. Please. It would be cool, and so right.
