59 yr old British judge, presiding over a trial of three men accused of internet terrorism, asks for definitions of a website and a forum, and really doesn't understand what they mean.

I'm wondering if maybe he shouldn't have recused himself from the case in favour of a more technologically savvy judge, given the nature of the trial. I don't know if the British system allows for that.

At least he admitted he didn't understand. I'd hate to think he'd just bumble along nodding in all the right places.

Well, you see, the internet is a series of tubes...

Erm, sorry.
