Bloody awesome - rap and evolution

Some time ago, Robin Ince and some other comedians and skeptical minds came together to produce "9 Lessons and Carols for Godless People", a skeptical comedy and science carol service at Christmas. It is now a more regular fixture. The whole show is great, but the absolute highlight is this video, a performance by Baba Brinkman, a rap about evolution. It sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it. It's just a really cool take on evolution as being a feedback loop - performance, feedback, revision.

Performance, Feedback, Revision...
