Given the size of some recent real world samples I think it's safe to say 51 percent is a more accurate figure. Nope. Fully one half of all Brits are above average intelligence, and 50% of the rest of the world's poulation is below average. <<A 51 Percent Mandate? (washingtonpost.com) Bush's chunk of the popular vote -- unofficially, 51 percent -- also places him in the middle of this historical pack. Thirteen of the winners of the >> ?2006 Google http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41006-2004Nov10.html?nav=rss_politics >:-) Sue... On that basis, 100% of all Brits are above average intelligence, nobody here voted for him. -- Der alte Hexenmeister ist: Sorcerer Androcles Dumbledore, Headmaster, hogwarts.physics school for zauberlehrlings.

But my guess is that he's just doing what all the other cranks do: They go at it gung-ho for a few weeks or months, then disappear for a while, then reappear spouting the exact same suff as every other time. Spaceman, for example, is just now returning after a lengthy hiatus, and is proceeding exactly as projected. -Mark Martin |
