Loved the timing of the Westminster Hoax vid. The narrator is calm and methodical and the material very well presented. Thank you for that.

On the topic of facts. How about another fact.

I love stories like the Geraint Woolford one. It shows that sometimes the universe does have a sense of humour no matter how grim it seems sometimes.

Plus ... I'll be eating more potatoes from now on. A lot more!!!!

I, for one, can read medication labels just fine, thank you very much. And I, too, believe that God created the world thousands but certainly not millions of years ago. This does not make me a nincompoop as the book's authors ever so 'subtly' imply. Cutting-edge science is also starting to point out that the origin of all species dates back to about the same time, and that time was not more than 100,000 years ago.
