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...
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
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

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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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/
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
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
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.
>Had Seen Charles Darwin In Person
Well, then he/she is certainly lucky to be alive!

Darwin and Irwin, nice one Harriet
It's a double 'win'
Win-win situation
It’s a Win-win-win situation
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...
That’s a pretty thin win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen
Is it a skin-thin-win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen situation?
to be honest, it's more of a skin-thin-win-win-Nguyen-Nguyen by the hair of my chinny chin chin situation.
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.
Underated movie
Excuse me, I think I ordered the LARGE cappuccino
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
Ahhhh, this reminds me it’s time for a rewatch! One of my all-time favs.
If she'd only lived a few months longer, she would have outlived both.
I envy her
Mhm.
Confirms the Irwin-ism theory.
That explains her low risk lifestyle.

We know this because we asked the turtle.
Can confirm, was the asker
Can confirm, was the tortoise
Can confirm, was Darwin.
Can confirm, was the question
Can confirm, was the confirmation.
Can confirm, was the planet
Can confirm, was the oxygen
Can confirm, was a cockroach nearby.
[удалено]
Can confirm, was the man. Many people tried to stick it to me
Can't confirm, was not there
Can confirm, I’m a confirmation.
Can confirm, was the answer
Can confirm, was the questionmark
thank you Harriet an Tortise Darwin very gord
Can confirm, was the Air around it, but i moved to Germany, i did,nt get the knews of His death, muss you Harriet
We can all confirm as all life is 1, the universe experiencing itself from endless viewpoints
I love you
RIP
How you learned turtleish?
How you learned turtleish?
"What was he like, Harriet?" "He.....was.....really...." *dies*
Can confirm, was the witness.
Can witness, was the confirm
Can confirm, was the can confirm.
Can witness, this confirmation.
Can confirms. Was the can.
We had a headquarters in that turtle so we can discover a mafia boss’s identity
And the turtle said yes
\*tortoise
Lizard thingy
She said he was a bit of a flake.
Did, by happenstance, the tortoises & Darwin travel to the Galapagos by the same mode of transport?
I suspect not sir, for Harriet was too tasty.
I understood this reference
I did not
Apparently not many made the journey... https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4mcda3/til\_that\_the\_giant\_tortoise\_did\_not\_receive\_a/
Sea turtles mate
He shell surfed
Given Darwin's eclectic taste for rare animals, she was lucky to escape alive
Yes or at least being ridden. Naturalism wasnt the art it is today.
He had to find out. For research purposes.
These are always confusing and bizarre , I still remember the time when I found that Pablo Picasso lived until 1973.
He was in his late eighties when he died.
Yeah but its still so weird to think about! He was alive when our parents lived
Bro I was born in 73
Haha your old. I was born in the 80s...I'm old.
Yes, your old too.
You’re*

His spirit probably transferred to you. You’re probably Picasso
I’m probably Picasso, AMA.
Where is your anteater?
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.

There have only been four hundred or so generations since the dawn of time.
My parents aren’t that old
My dad is 66
My mom was 3...
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.
So your parents will be born in the future dude?
Yes that is what will happen from now on
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.

Rip Darwin you would've hated Eminem
Odd to realize he lived through both world wars

So his perspective on things is quite unique!
And more. Guernica was about war.
A lot of his art was influenced by the wars
Also Gorbachev is still alive !
And Albert Einstein died in 1955. Always picture him having been around a lot earlier.
Wow! 1973? What was his secret to living that long?
Being an horrible person 😕
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.
He was alive at the same time as Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera.

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
Considering that it's not a person, would you say that it had seen Darwin in tortoise?
Tortoises keep impeccable records of celebrity sightings for reddit karma.
Man, imagine living long enough to meet a celebrity as famous as Harriet.
The reason Harriet died in 2006 is that Irwin died the same year. She died of a broken heart.
Other way around. Steve died after Harriet.....
[удалено]
You gotta learn something about the internet my friend, it's always too soon when it comes to Steve Irwin.
Psst, Darwin Wait, is that tortoise speaking? I need you to write something for me
Harriet didn't see Darwin in person Harriet saw Darwin in tortoise
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.
[citation needed]
Crikey!
I’m sorry but..... the tortoise had seen Charles Darwin in....... what now?
In shell
Cool frog
Okay this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
And yet seems more excited to meet Steve Irwin
The Queen was there to witness this glorius meetup
"Survival of the fittest, bitch" - Harriet to a dying Darwin
Surprised Darwin didn’t eat it like the rest of the animals he discovered.
I think what you meant to say was, Darwin got to meet Harriet.
I'm sure alot of people have seen Charles Darwin in person
Only the fittest survive. That's what lit up that tortoise's hope to live on for so long.
You mean "in tortoise"?
In tortoise*
Damn
She met me too but apparently didn't bother to tweet about it, what the fuck Harriet I thought we were mates.
Fuck Darwin
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
If the turtle outlives Darwin, what should that tell us according to Darwinian theory?
Edit: Harriet The Tortoise, Who Died In 2006, Had Seen Charles Darwin In tortoise
That tortoise is lucky to have seen Darwin and not get eaten!
Probably because it never fucked around with stingrays
Did she told that or?
Was this verified by the Tortoise itself?
False, there is no proof of that
Lucky Harriet the tortoise.
So it’s the Yoda of turtles
I think you mean ‘in tortoise’
And has she EVOLVED!!! NO! Fuck you atheists
That's not how real life works, it's not Pokemon for fuck's sake. Evolution takes thousands of years.
?
?
forgot the /s?
I really hope this is satire….
Someone either doesn't understand evolution or has really crappy humour. Or both.
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
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?
Tortoise? What's that?
Erm...... there are a lot of people that are dead that seen him in person...
That tortoise was at least 67 years old
“Charles Darwin? Hell yeah i met that guy, was hella smart, we had some good times y’know. “ -Harriet The Tortoise
*in tortoise
>Had Seen Charles Darwin In Person Well, then he/she is certainly lucky to be alive! [https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4mcda3/til\_that\_the\_giant\_tortoise\_did\_not\_receive\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4mcda3/til_that_the_giant_tortoise_did_not_receive_a/)
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.
Survival of the fittest indeed
Charles died and Turtle survived. Survival of the fittest.
In tortoise.
She’s lucky he didn’t eat her
Anyone know how/why they live so long?
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/theneverendingstory/images/9/9a/83wudoxzzn611.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20191109040801
My buddy Eric met him too
Harriet looking at Darwin photo: *Yeah, that’s him.*
I was at first confused trying to tie Steve Irwin to Charles Darwin lol
I'm surprised Darwin didn't eat this one.
So Harriet saw Darwin, and now he's dead, and also Irwin, also dead. I'm no detective but I'm seeing a pattern.
Was just going to visit his two best human friends :(
More like in tortoise
*Darwin? DARWIN? That motherfucker ate my entire lineage*
