    In what I consider to be rather stunning, /. and the BBC
    are reporting that "Matrix Reloaded" has been banned
    in Egypt.

    Now its questionable that "banning" has any serious effect
    in this day and age (of downloading off the net, ordering
    DVDs from overseas, etc.) but the fact that they attempted
    to do it and the reasons provided are quite bizarre
    having to do with "issues of existence and creation related
    to the three divine religions".

    Looks like papers by Nick Bostrom, books by Damien Broderick,
    and perhaps even papers by Anders and myself might be next
    on the hit list.
