Is Everything OK With Richard Dawkins?

    He's not winning many friends.

    Richard Dawkins just tweeted this.

    Which might be technically correct but... why would you say it?

    All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though.

    Dawkins seems to be going a little off the rails. Only a few weeks ago he was going on about sharks and hedgehogs and "memes memes memes" in this bonkers speech about virality. Though at least that was eccentric in a charming way.
