For a flavour, here is the entry for Charles Darwin:
''Darwin’s Origin of Species:'',<br>''One of mankind’s greatest theses,''<br>''Upset monkeys by the dozens,''<br>
''Treating them as people’s cousins.''
And then there's Dickens, explained via Bleak House:
''The story starts simply, but soon the plot thickens.''<br>''A man catches fire; the heroine sickens''<br>''The closer the climax, the more the pace quickens,''<br>
''Till all is resolved. That’s what happens in Dickens.''
And I found a lot of commonality with Mrs Noah in the bible stories section:
''Mrs Noah said: “Dear, would you mind?''<br>''We’ve been told to take two of each kind;''<br>''But these spiders and snakes''<br>''Really give me the shakes.''<br>
''Don’t you think we could leave them behind?”''
