Make that "Italy vs. Everybody Else, Even Extraterrestrials," and you're on. :-P BTW, the "Congeries" userpic above this post and the unkind words below are aimed at whoever is suing the scientists, not the scientists themselves. If somebody tried this sort of stunt here in America, not only would they get laughed out of court, but the countersuit would take them to the cleaners.
