Sorry if this is a little late (summertime and the living is easy ...)

Well Jeff, two points for a good try but:

>the west beat the east into science ?< 

Time to get out the shovels. The discovery of gunpowder, the invention of the
first sismograph, the first compasses and sextent, the first planeterium,
the first ....

Now it may be true that the east has had a breif repose for the last 1000
years, but who wouldn't after 5000 years of scientific achievment.


But then, maybe no one cares,
