But you have to admit HGT and "convergent evolution" are wonderful shams.

where the link in the word "sham", rather than go to some site which would support the assertion, goes only to...

WTF?
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sham

Is that an uncommon word in your part of the world Soc?

ETA: Is that to distinguish it from a shammy cloth?

Hmmm...

I didn't check the link. I would have expected that the link would be back to Soccy's profile page...
