Bloody hell! The Swedes were said to have been given the run-around by creationists. With American money-men involved too, it's pretty well guaranteed.
Meanwhile, off-topic, the presenter of BBC 4's Secrets of Bones has just said that bones are there to allow an animal to move - and this from a professor of evolutionary biology. I'd have had my bony hand smacked in O-level biology if I'd written such a gross oversimplification. Is it now mandatory to dumb-down science programmes to such an extent? School science following shortly? There already?
Edit to add: my apologies to Ben Garrod: he's not a professor, apparently having only recently finished his Ph.D., so will be a beginner at lecturing.
