irish 14 September 2010
So, there are plenty of ‘irish’ jokes out there – and some of them very funny, and adaptable to other countries (and within said countries and all that) – but it’s when the actual country is providing their own joke, as ‘twere, that you gotta worry – so I give you this gem: the Irish Minister of State for Science offered to launch a book trashing evolution this week and reluctantly stepped down from that at the last moment…I’m not saying anything about the science of it all (though you might have all guessed that I kinda BELIEVE in, er, logic – I mean evolution) BUT surely he shouldn’t even have considered it???
