And while we're wondering what to bring as a prezzie to Charlie's 198th 
(a blue dung beetle, perhaps?), you may want to visit a webpage of the 
Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, where you can 
get tips on how to take a stand for science and support evolution 
education (or, as _Science_ says, "Become an evo warrior").

About that dung beetle:

CHARLES DARWIN TO J.M. HERBERT. Saturday Evening September 14, 1828]. 

My dear old Cherbury,

I am about to fulfil my promise of writing to you, but I am sorry to add
there is a very selfish motive at the bottom.  I am going to ask you a
great favour, and you cannot imagine how much you will oblige me by
procuring some more specimens of some insects which I dare say I can
describe.. SEVERAL more specimens, if you can procure them
without much trouble, of the following insects....a bluish metallic-
coloured dung-beetle".

Or, if you think that less than suitable, he also goes on about buying 
him a bottle of something or other, presumably alcoholic. But I suspect 
he'd like the dung beetle better.
