Re: [asa] Brilliant article by Dawkins

There often came a point in Monty Python sketches where a man with a posh
accent came on and said "This sketch is getting TOO SILLY!" and that would
be the end of it.

The same might be said for this thread. Any serious attempt at discussion
has been abandoned. Who started this "what is ... " lark anyway?

Iain (with posh British accent: "This thread is getting TOO SILLY").
