Universal cheating
14/05/2012 : Many of us profess to know it all, but do we? Not all of us, surely. And though there are among us who know a good deal, knowing it all is a bit much. Not even Aristotle or Da Vinci, Newton or Einstein were that brilliant.

SAS or Navy Seals?
30/04/2012 : Every country has elite troops, but which are the best in the world? I used to think it was the Gurkhas, but they appear to have faded from the scene. The Russian Spatznaz get good marks, but in this day and time it comes down to Britain's SAS and America's Navy Seals.
