Sad. Could you imagine him saying something like *economics* isn't his strong point? For some reason it's okay to be bad at science. Maybe Bush could give him a quick primer the next time he visits. I understand he minored in astrophysics. The worst world leader in this regard, imho, is Thabo Mbeki of South Africa. He has the blood of thousands on his hands because of his crackpot beliefs about AIDS, with thousands or millions more to come. Don't even get me started. --Mark --- LARRY KLAES <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > .. but sigh: > > The prime minister, who admitted that science had > passed him by at school, was given a run-down of the > Huygens space probe by scientists at the Open > University in Milton Keynes. > > http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/sciences/story/0,12243,1415914,00.html<http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/sciences/story/0,12243,1415914,00.html> > > He said: "I missed out on science at school, I'm > afraid.
