George gets Darwined

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.

Instead of capturing the HMS Beagle and holding the ship for ransom, George joined their crew and learned all about Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection.

“Does this theory apply to pirates?” asked George. “Because I’m not a very good pirate, and you’d think that I’d have been weeded out of the population by now.”

Darwin pondered this for a while. “Good question,” he said.

Then, he clubbed George on the back of his head and tossed him overboard.

“Error correction,” said Darwin, as George’s body sank below the waves.
