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.
