An aside. I was watching an animal planet show about zoos. They were taking a tour of the St. Louis zoo if memory serves. The guide said "And this is our main feature...a tortoise brought to American by Charles Darwin".
Host: "You mean a descendent of that tortoise?"
Guide: "No, this exact tortoise was brought over by Darwin. He's 150 years old."
I was blown away.

That's actually pretty cool. 
I thought this topic would be more interesting to people on this board. I suppose a successful thread on the poliboard has to contain a big shiny piece of troll bait in the OP.
