Now why couldn't Russell come up with "giant mutant ant overlords"? A teapot? I ask you? I'm starting to feel a little uneasy at the thought of these mutant overlords.

I love the overseas posters with their funny names. They don't know much, but at least they don't pretend otherwise, not like our home-grown geniuses.

It's just a light-hearted demonstration of the logical fallacy known as "begging the question".

And my name isn't funny, it was a perfectly good play.

and my name isn't funny, he was a perfectly mediocre squad member in the 1966 DPKR world cup squad. (and should not be confused with the name without an 'e')

Yes, Jim. I made the point that Old Europe exported a lot of their religious fanatics to the new colonies, along with criminals, probably the first example of ethnic cleansing.

We kept the best brains behind, or tried to, but a few mistakes meant that we now have the odd atheist posting rubbish on an internet forum.
