When Charles Darwin went across the Atlantic in 1832 on the Beagle, he saw the turkey vulture, and he said, "These are disgusting birds with bald scarlet heads that are formed to revel in putridity." (Laughter) You could not get a worse insult, and that from Charles Darwin. (Laughter) You know, he changed his mind when he came back, and I'll tell you why.
Quando Charles Darwin attraversò l'oceano nel 1832 sul Beagle, vide l'avvoltoio collorosso, e disse: "Sono uccelli disgustosi con quella scarlatta testa calva ideale per crogiolarsi nel putrido." (Risate) Non c'è peggior insulto, figuriamoci detto da Charles Darwin. (Risate) Ma al proprio ritorno cambiò idea e vi dirò perché.
