Heh Neil, Happy new years to you and all else here. Did you get out of bed a tad grummpy this morning old bean, are you knees playing you up again?
Apart from your general grummping the only thing I have to comment on about this one is the concept of common sense. What I guess is meant is those things that we have been culturaly taught make sense. I'm once agian thinking of the differance between my cultures idea of uncovering the head as a mark of respect when entering Gods house, and my religions idea of doing the very opposite as a mark of respect. Common sense? Sounds like an oxymoron to me. On 1 Jan, 02:22, archytas <[email protected]> wrote: > In theory, bumblebees should not be able to fly, but they do. Because > they have to.
