LONDON - 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

Hilarious!

When I moved in with my grandparents 3 years ago, I mentioned burning a cd to my pop once. He's like "well why would you want to do that?" He thought I meant literally burning...you know, with fire. :lol

At least your grandpa knows what a CD is. My grandpa is dead. :(

I'm sorry. :( My other grandpa is dead too. Both of my dad's parents are. They'd both be in their 80s now if they were still alive, I believe. [My dad is number 8 out of 10 kids, so they were always kinda old, you know?]

My pop, the one about with the CD burning question, has been dead 3 times though and they just keep bringing him back heh. He's also only 65, and Gram just turned 61, so it's not like they're too old to be familiar with CDs or anything.

LOL, old people.

I had to set up my grandparents' new plasma TV the last time I was over there, and they really didn't know ANYTHING about it. They didn't even know how to start a DVD or anything. It was sort of sad.
