hmm...most interesting.

The BBC does tend to dig up the most fascinating science stories :P

It's the only news source I read these days. Too little time. But this one seems like good research (on the face of it.)

Well, the BBC have an enormous reputation to uphold, so I'd doubt they'd break a story on something that looked particularly dubious. They're also obliged to be strictly neutral on pretty much anything, being a semi-public entity.

If only that were 100% true. Their religious coverage can be quite nauseating... and then try complaining about it!

From a science standpoint though, I'd have to agree.

they do have an odd understanding of 'neutral' sometimes I'll admit.

That may change soon though...I can sense a regime change in the air.

I was thinking on a wider scale than just the BBC.

It's quite clear that Labour will lose the next election, and I have a feeling its death wont be a silent one... :(

But that's enough about politics...lol, another time...

Nothing alive on earth makes any sense except in the light of evolution - or something like that. True though.

Someone will attribute it correctly for us, I'm sure. Pretty wise words.
