Evolution of THE Man

In honor of Charles Darwin's 201st birthday on the February 12th, we held a few celebratory events at school.  In addition to the scavenger hunt and a lecture that touch on a few evolutionary adaptations in human anatomy, we had a cake baking / decorating contest.  I managed to take home the prize for most creative with my "Evolution of The Man" entry.

For some, Burt's face on a cupcake is a good weight management strategy.

Others end up with cake in their lap.

Although few people saw me bring them in or set them up, most everyone knew within a second that I'd brought them.  What's best is that my anatomy prof quickly (and without provocation) quoted a line from "Deliverance" that didn't involve Ned Beatty, mouths, or squealing.  It was bliss.

One younger classmate, however, remarked that he thought "Kurt Russell" look pretty strange after all the years and surgeries.  I told him to put down the cupcake, get the hell away from me, and never to confuse Russell with Burt Reynolds ever, ever again.
