The Brits are a funny people. As evidence, consider that a popular Christmas song in the British Isles features an exchange of insults by an unhappy couple. The Pogues' Fairytale of New York hit No. 2 in the British charts in 1987 (No. 1 in Ireland) and ranked as one of the 100 greatest songs ever in a BBC poll. VH1 UK viewers voted it, in three consecutive years, the best Christmas song ever.

Think about it
"If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits? For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
