Happy 300th birthday Linnaeus

From Wired:

"Biological classification may seem like an esoteric problem better left to librarians than field researchers"

Hey, I have training in both areas - pick me! Pick me!

This sounds like a job for the Esoteric Problem Brigade!

I just can't get that excited about taxonomy. My mind starts to break down around the edges trying to come up with a decent definition of "species". I do salute Linnaeus for giving us all an excuse to make up funny pseudo-Latin names for things. That's worthwhile. :-)
