I know of no crusades where scientists from one country marched into other countries raping and pillaging in an effort to "educate" the citizens of other countries and bring them to the "light". ? library.thinkquest.org "Add to all that the fact that scientists do not usually kill each other because they disagree over theory." ? guardian.co.uk

I would have loved getting a phd in plant pathology. Well, I think that would have been very useful here, interpreting certain brain-dead vegetables. You'd need to specialise in the simple ones, like moss. Incidentally, a recent audit of UK state-owned assets turned up (among other oddities) an apple tree grown from a cutting of the one in Newton's mother's garden... i.e., the one the apple allegedly fell from. The audit valued it as 'priceless'... LOL.
