I read through this lacklustre article not really expecting anything better but hoping that at least Sheldrake would get a mention.

Instead, a stream of obvious and largely unscientific perspectives, followed by the dreadful 'joke' designed to emphasise how only the foolish look for 'alternatve' explanations.

It, of course, ignored those of us who reserve judgement and remain open-minded. I say ignored... judging from the quality of the article we would simply be classed as 'believers' or idiots.

Seems like ages since I've had a moan on TDG!

But when Stuart gently presses a bump in his groin, out pops Grumpy's famous penis, like an inflated rubber glove.

I do believe the correct term is 'fluffing' :P
