Re: [asa] Dawkins new book (morals)

Murray ,

When I saw that this morning I wanted to ask if a shed of dignity couldnt
handily be found in the county what would be the consequences? Dont answer
that! But now we know the real reason why all the rabbits fled Australia.

Don,

Yes, it was a typo, but a typo that was well placed because thanks to
Murray's response people all over the world have been spontaneously giggling
all day. Their wives have been asking "what the h*** is so funny?" Its
impossible to picture the shed of dignity and not laugh.

Thanks,
Dave
