Sorry I did not get back to you on the Torture Test post. I am not finding much time to read blogs these days. Andrew Malcom, I like this bit from your last comment:

I think it is one of the last bastions of real "specialness" we have left, after so much has been taken away by Darwin and Copernicus et al., and it's hard to let go of. I should mine this for a post. Anyway, thanks for the moral support, guys. Hi Mike and Bob,
