I like the quote, but why the unintentional middle finger background? It discredits what would be an otherwise good quotepic.

Agreed. Can we please stop posting this picture? It's so unrepresentative of his actual attitude, and mismatched with that quote.

Absolutely agree, I have seen this repost so many times and it seems people don't even try to explain the background in the comments section anymore.

The special this was taken from called "life on air" is awesome, it follows Davids life broadcasting, some very interesting stuff in there for any fan of the man..

The other day the BBC repeated his “Darwin and the Tree of life” as I was trying to get to bed but I couldn’t pull myself away from watching it. Epic!

One of the greatest men to ever live.

I was recently talking about him with a friend, when a lesser acquaintance (of theirs, not mine) butted in saying, "What's going to happen when he's gone? Who will do these shows? My vote goes to Ant & Dec or Dermot O'Leary. They're popular."

For American people, those are celebrities who present X Factor style shows. We obviously told her to shut her whorish face (politely). To which she replied, "Well how much does he actually know? He doesn't even travel to the places, he just does the voice overs."

Me and and my friend were like this for about 5 minutes straight. http://i.imgur.com/ZWsCb.jpg

He's a living legend.

That's my favorite antitheist quote. I just wish he'd named the worm, so I could use it more effectively.

Anyone know what that worm is called?

Downvoted for reposting. Are we really running out of material so badly?

Seriously with the downvotes? Search "David Attenborough" in the search bar and the first 10 posts are identical to this. 3 seconds. That's all it takes to save us from this blithering sub-reddit of reposts...

I dont know why you got downvoted. I have seen this picture at least once a week for the past year here, along with the same old quotes and the same old videos.

I wouldn't mind the reposting, Attenborough is the man! I just don't like them making him look bad by showing this fake picture. He's a goddamn KNIGHT, not trailer trash.
