The Two Cultures -the Latest Score
by Idiot in Residence
When I "Googled" the following phrases for UK Web Pages, I got the following number of "hits":
- Artist in Residence 141,000
- Writer in Residence 49,600
- Poet in Residence 21,600
- Composer in Residence 20,000
- Scientist in Residence 375
- Engineer in Residence 5
- Mathematician in Residence 2
- Idiot in Residence 0 (well, there's one now!)
I rest my case! (Prodnose:) "What case?"

P.S. Googling the World leads to somewhat less stark results, America is less benighted and even has a few hundred "idiot" hits, many care of Harvard University, where "typically English humour", under threat in the U.K., maintains a tenacious hold in its new home!
