All the more reason why after a certain age people should be removed from offices of judgement, control, policy etc...  mandatory yearly testing for elderly drivers (YES YES I'll DO IT TOO WHEN I'M THAT OLD).

That's a hysterical find though Glenn... I'm gonna forward like its hot!!

"Web site" baffles Internet terrorism trial judge

LONDON (Reuters) - A British judge admitted on Wednesday he was struggling to cope with basic terms like "Web site" in the trial of three men accused of inciting terrorism via the Internet.

Judge Peter Openshaw broke into the questioning of a witness about a Web forum used by alleged Islamist radicals.

"The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a Web site is," he told a London court during the trial of three men charged under anti-terrorism laws.

Prosecutor Mark Ellison briefly set aside his questioning to explain the terms "Web site" and "forum." An exchange followed in which the 59-year-old judge acknowledged: "I haven't quite grasped the concepts."
