Remember to vote for Charles Darwin on the BBC sit

...site, that is...

'Great Britons' - who was the greatest Briton? Well, that's pretty obvious,
but not for everyone, it seems. Guess who is leading the poll... I really had
a better opinion of the audience of BBC...
So come on people, use your vote and do it wisely :).

      Newton at the eighth place and Lady D at the third :) ha ha a lot of people don't like physics. Well, I certainly didn't like Lady D. How come Darvin is leading?

      I thought I had a case of deja vu when I read your message, then I realised
      that the vote you write about was for BBC World audience only.

      The vote on the British BBC ended last year and the results as voted by the
      British nation:

        So you guys say

        now Darwin is leading - I thought D's position was unshakable... Some wise men
        must have wisited the site (gee, don't tell me - you did this?).
        But in the previous poll, D was ranked 3rd and Charles 4th...
        Oh, boy...

      well, i'd rather say - JR Tolkien. In 1997 poll LOTR was recognized the best
      British book ever by Times readers.... In effect some of the journalists called
      UK "nation of fools and Tolkien readers":)

        You certainly have a point here,

        you do... I can remember that poll, and the reactions to it. Some very famous
        literary theoretitian (theorist??) was most displeased. But if she failed to
        recognize the grandour of TLOTR, it is certainly she, and not TLOTR, that is
        brought into disrepute...
