Trolling techniques

I believe they still use the phrase "not proven" for verdicts in the UK so as not to confuse people into thinking that just because something is not proven, the theory of innocence is proven.

I stand to be corrected, but I believe this applies to Scottish law only, in England & Wales you are either guilty or not guilty, much the same as in the States.Scottish law has many sanities that English law eschews, ask anyone that has been "gazumped" (had your offer on a property purchase bettered after acceptance by the seller. The seller is able to then accept the new offer. The consequense of this is that the person who has been "gazumped" has already shelled out thousands in solicitor fees, surveyors, etc. In Scotland to accept an offer is contractually binding) but IMHO, this isn't one of them.Mark------------------

mike the wiz,I would also add:1/ The extensior coccygis muscle in humans that connects to the sacrum to........ the sacrum. Muscles that connect to the skeleton have one purpose, to articulate it. In many other mammals the "sacrum" is actually mobile & forms the tail. The EC muscle allows that tail to be extended. Why would a designer add a muscle (not present in all people) to extend fused vertebrae?2/ Whale embryos (some) possess hind limbs, all over body hair, & in the case of baleen whales, teeth. Why, if they are not required?3/ Similarly, anteaters are toothless from birth onwards, yet anteater embryos possess teeth that are absorbed later in development. Why, if they are not needed, an embryo is fed via the umbilical, not its alimentary canal (gut-mouth to backside & everything inbetween)?MarkMark------------------
