Thanks to reader Nick Pearson for alerting us to the chance offered by Channel 4 television in the UK to win boxed sets of DVDs of the series in which Richard Dawkins celebrates his scientific hero, Charles Darwin. Unfortunately, Pearson's email arrived after entries had closed, but we are as amused as he was to note that "Channel 4 reserves the right to cancel or amend the Competition or the Rules without notice in the event of a catastrophe, war, civil or military disturbance, act of God..." As Pearson notes, if these atheistic and pro-science DVDs were targeted for sabotage by an enraged supernatural being, there would be large issues to deal with - larger even than war or civil disturbance. But unlikely as such an occurrence might be, the Channel 4 legal department would no doubt tell us it wouldn't be doing its job if it didn't cover this possibility.
