We’re back with another life-changing installment of Mork & Darwin. Robin Williams’ Bulworth wannabe Man of the Year squares off in a death match with the terrifying Antarctic octopus.  May the best powdered wig win!

In other exciting news, next week we’ll reveal the results of the 2009 Mork & Darwin face-offs. It’ll be handy to have something to discuss with the family over the Christmas goose.

YIL Presents: Mork & Darwin, Volume the First

mork.and.darwin.3Today, in honor of Darwin Year, we bring you a new weekly YIL feature: Mork & Darwin.

Mork & Darwin is the brainchild of YIL friend Will. He posits that for every discovery of an incredibly odd head-scratcher of a deep sea creature, there is an equally odd head-scratcher of a Robin Williams movie. Mork & Darwin, now a regular YIL feature, puts that hypothesis to the test. Each week, Will plans to present us with a perfect pairing of ocean dweller and Williams film. Your job is to vote for which is more stupefying.

Without further ado, I give you Mork & Darwin, Volume the First:mork.vs.darwin.matchup.layered
