Charles had taken a liking to Fanny Owen through his Cambridge years, but as he departed on the Beagle voyage, well&#8230;
She dumped him.
Apparently he cared more about his beetle collection than about her. She wished she had given him a pin cushion for his instruments of death.

At the age of twelve, in addition to being stinky, Charles Darwin reminds himself that if he is going to be a great naturalist, he&#8217;ll need a place for his stash. 
That&#8217;s right, he&#8217;s building a fort.
In Summer, 1823, he says, the work must start!

		<description><![CDATA[This week: Stinky, stinky, 12-year-old Darwin
Charles Darwin, at the age of 12, wrote several letters into a &#8216;Memorandum book&#8217; while on vacation from school. He was staying at his family home in Shrewsbury, and apparently not bathing much. Ah, the days when washing was a chore!
Please be advised that the spelling mistakes and lack of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cupblog.wordpress.com&blog=1319711&post=301&subd=cupblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can do it, Chas!
Charles Darwin wanted what many academics still strive for: to get published!
It was difficult for other reasons, in his case. Murray, the publisher, might reject a paper that runs &#8220;slap counter to Genesis.&#8221; Look out, Christendom, here comes Darwin! He mentions this concern in a letter below.
