Here's Charles Darwin in October 1852 coming to the end of his seven year study into the Barnacle:I am at work at the second volume of the Cirripedia, of which creatures I am wonderully tired. I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before...If you happen to be about to purchase his first volume of the Cirripedia, beware:
My first volume is out; the only part worth looking at is on the sexes of Ibla and Scalpellum.You have been warned.
Can you believe I walked past a shop offering a framed print of the above Tintin rocket. With the right amount of red wine, I'd say it's the greatest thing ever.
