Holy Sh!t...I did not know that.    
 So Turq et al must now bow out of this one and admit it was all 
done by a bunch of fundie fanatics hell bent on destruction.      
Admit it Turq. etc. ....or join the fundies ( I will come to Paris 
and annihilate you if you join the fundies !)

Quite frankly someone should sue them for their unscientific 
interference in public schools and government. I really wish someone 
had the money and the balls to sue them.
