  Armand David - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Father Armand David (September 27, 1826 near Bayonne –November 10, 1900 in Paris) was a Lazarist missionary Catholic priest as well as a zoologist and a botanist.
What Father David's scientific journeys meant for botany may be inferred from the fact that among the rhododendrons which he collected no less than fifty-two new species were found and among the primulae about forty, while the Western Mountains of China furnished an even greater number of hitherto unknown species of gentian.
In the midst of his work as a naturalist Father David did not neglect his missionary labours, and was noted for his careful devotion to his religious duties and for his obedience to every detail of his rules.

Pere Armand David (1826-1900) was a French Jesuit missionary and keen naturalist in China.

Their names are David Armand, Rupert Russell, Sam Spedding and Nick Tanner; they're Cambridge grads, still in their 20s (their youth and their background betray themselves in the name they selected for themselves, from T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land).
In one of these pieces, Armand does an "interpretive dance" to a current dance music hit (sorry, I'm too much of a codger when it comes to contemporary music to be able to tell you exactly what the song was).
Armand's work is hilarious and precise: he's in control of every bone and muscle in his body, and he knows how to play deadpan but deliver silly.
