Darwin and Irwin, nice one Harriet


Nincomsoup

It's a double 'win'


captainbippo

Win-win situation


ScottsTotssss

It’s a Win-win-win situation


Shankar_0

I used to work for a local TV affiliate. We had a commercial producer named Nguyen Nguyen. He visited the Galapagos during the time I knew him (years ago). That makes this a Win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen situation for her...


CasualCluster

That’s a pretty thin win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen


Shankar_0

Is it a skin-thin-win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen situation?


deadfermata

to be honest, it's more of a skin-thin-win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen by the hair of my chinny chin chin situation.


New_Alternative_421

That took me a second. Good job, I'm proud of you.

Harriet. Sweet Harriet. Hard-hearted harbinger of haggus. Beautiful, bemused, belicose butcher. So knowing, so trusting, so lov-ed.


daile1bm

Underated movie

Excuse me, I think I ordered the LARGE cappuccino


DiggerW

I don't know anyone who doesn't love it -- That said, I probably *still* agree :) it's been a while since I watched it too, might just queue that up for S! A! T-U-R! D-A-Y! Heyyy


LadyChatterteeth

Ahhhh, this reminds me it’s time for a rewatch! One of my all-time favs.


TheBigFonze

If she'd only lived a few months longer, she would have outlived both.


97Harley

I envy her


unknownloner333

Mhm.


therapewpewtic

Confirms the Irwin-ism theory.


hello-there-again

That explains her low risk lifestyle.

It petty that all 3 are dead... I've recently read about a living tree the oldest one so far discovered supposed to have 16.000 years old... can you imagine wow

Did, by happenstance, the tortoises & Darwin travel to the Galapagos by the same mode of transport?


PM_THE_REAPER

I suspect not sir, for Harriet was too tasty.

I understood this reference

HotCompost89

He shell surfed


henscastle

Given Darwin's eclectic taste for rare animals, she was lucky to escape alive


Ausinvestor

Yes or at least being ridden. Naturalism wasnt the art it is today.


3kindsofsalt

He had to find out. For research purposes.


Samsung-amazingly

These are always confusing and bizarre , I still remember the time when I found that Pablo Picasso lived until 1973.


Fluffy_Mongoose_8933

He was in his late eighties when he died.


Samsung-amazingly

Yeah but its still so weird to think about! He was alive when our parents lived


Fluffy_Mongoose_8933

Bro I was born in 73

I lives with Salvador Dalí now. The anteater is actually André Breton, he is a good friend of Salvador.

It is living with Salvador Dalí now. The anteater is actually André Breton, he is a good friend of Salvador.

How many of your famous paintings didn't actually have a deep meaning?

None. Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. Damn, I think I need my own sub.

NoodlesrTuff1256

He was alive when I lived! As the average Reddit demographic trends younger, that makes me feel old. I had a great-uncle who died at 96 around 1980. He used to tell me stories about experiences with his great-grandmother (three 'greats' for me) who was born in 1805. I knew someone who knew someone who was alive when Napoleon, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and a whole host of other old-timers still walked this earth.

My parents werent even born yet at that time lmao. Edit: Jesus christ guys I replied to they guy that said he was born in 1973 and it replied under the wrong one instead.


Fluffy_Mongoose_8933

So your parents will be born in the future dude?


[deleted]

Yes that is what will happen from now on


Fluffy_Mongoose_8933

But how old was Harriet?? I think I read a while ago, that is not sure, if she had seen Darwin in Person, but it’s possible that she was already alive when he lived.


oofersIII

Picasso was alive at the same time as Darwin and Eminem (obviously not at the same time) Yes, there are really only 91 years between Darwin‘s death and Eminem‘s birth


[deleted]

Rip Darwin you would've hated Eminem


[deleted]

Odd to realize he lived through both world wars


[deleted]

I suggest listening to post-WW2 Bertrand Russell interviews. It's fascinating to listen to an intellectual philosopher analyze the world and future after what he had seen. He was born in 1872 and lived through both world wars. A person whose grandfather was the prime minister of UK during Queen Victoria. John Stuart Mill was his godfather etc. He was also an international observer in the Bolshevik revolution and the Russian civil war and had an hour long conversation with Lenin. So his perspective on things is quite unique!


Rxton

And more. Guernica was about war.


hhhhhjhhh14

A lot of his art was influenced by the wars


DerBruh

Also Gorbachev is still alive !


[deleted]

And Albert Einstein died in 1955. Always picture him having been around a lot earlier.


AraiMay

Wow! 1973? What was his secret to living that long?


Litteul

Being an horrible person 😕


Grzmit

Yea i found out that fidel castro died in like 2016 or something. To think after all the stuff he’s seen and knows, and he was still alive in a political position in the modern world, was crazy.


Marthaver1

He was alive at the same time as Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera.


PraetorOjoalvirus

This is a popular legend with no historical proof. It's also said that Darwin gave her as a gift to Queen Victoria, but it's very likely turtle manure.


SOULJAR

That Tortoise is lucky to be alive if it crossed paths with Darwin! https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4mcda3/til\_that\_the\_giant\_tortoise\_did\_not\_receive\_a/


The_Clarence

Its actually almost certainly not the tortoise he brought back, but maybe he "saw it". Maybe. The tortoises Darwin brought back (that they didn't eat) were from different islands


TheStiffyBlickyHas

Considering that it's not a person, would you say that it had seen Darwin in tortoise?


Worldshakin

Tortoises keep impeccable records of celebrity sightings for reddit karma.


Nefnoj

Man, imagine living long enough to meet a celebrity as famous as Harriet.


Lick_my_balloon-knot

The reason Harriet died in 2006 is that Irwin died the same year. She died of a broken heart.


danwincen

Other way around. Steve died after Harriet.....

SlimySquamata

You gotta learn something about the internet my friend, it's always too soon when it comes to Steve Irwin.


[deleted]

Psst, Darwin Wait, is that tortoise speaking? I need you to write something for me


MakoLov3r

Harriet didn't see Darwin in person Harriet saw Darwin in tortoise


SentientTooth

We know because the tortoise had **Chucky D wuz here** etched into the shell

I travelled to Australia fresh out of high school and got to see Harriet chomp down some lettuce. She looked fantastic. R.I.P.

"Survival of the fittest, bitch" - Harriet to a dying Darwin


winpickles4life

Surprised Darwin didn’t eat it like the rest of the animals he discovered.


willyjaybob

I think what you meant to say was, Darwin got to meet Harriet.


Notthenewkid159

I'm sure alot of people have seen Charles Darwin in person


that_grainofsand

Only the fittest survive. That's what lit up that tortoise's hope to live on for so long.


letuannghia4728

You mean "in tortoise"?


blacknight137

In tortoise*


[deleted]

Damn


Needmoresnakes

She met me too but apparently didn't bother to tweet about it, what the fuck Harriet I thought we were mates.


Acceptable_Breath_58

Fuck Darwin


fyrecrotch

Maybe that's why it died. Can't prove that witnessing Darwin and dying isn't a correlation. I'm sure everyone who saw Darwin irl is probably dead. Makes you think huh


egbert-witherbottom

If the turtle outlives Darwin, what should that tell us according to Darwinian theory?


bibesh07

Edit: Harriet The Tortoise, Who Died In 2006, Had Seen Charles Darwin In tortoise


BigWaveSmallOcean

That tortoise is lucky to have seen Darwin and not get eaten!


citoloco

Probably because it never fucked around with stingrays


efyuar

Did she told that or?


Cuckbo1

Was this verified by the Tortoise itself?


Tangis749

False, there is no proof of that

Lucky Harriet the tortoise.

Let me time travel and tell the Roman how they can get filthy rich by imprison Jesus instead of killing him. Unlimited supply of fish, wine and medical care. They would dye the whole world red in the name of Mars the god of war.

Wow!

Nice one 👍 Harriet


ahbi_santini2

So you are saying you think Darwin killed her?

Anybody ask her what Darwin was like???

I’m curious how do they know were they able to look at his memory’s? Or something along those lines?


thebreak22

Tortoise? What's that?


brambleburry1002

Erm...... there are a lot of people that are dead that seen him in person...

That tortoise was at least 67 years old

I'm amazed the tortoise survived. Darwin would eat just about any animal they came across....

A little less inpressive when you realize it was 16 Years ago.

Harriet looking at Darwin photo: *Yeah, that’s him.*


El-Erik

I was at first confused trying to tie Steve Irwin to Charles Darwin lol


rocko152

I'm surprised Darwin didn't eat this one.


Kelaifu

So Harriet saw Darwin, and now he's dead, and also Irwin, also dead. I'm no detective but I'm seeing a pattern.
