Completely Off His Trolley!

For anyone who is not familiar with the expression "off your trolley", it's a British slang phrase with a similar meaning to "lost your marbles". Now that I've cleared that up, I expect you want to know who is off his trolley. Is it me?

Possibly, because the title of this post is a tenuous link to a post I wrote years ago (definitely before I moved to Posterous) about the famous trolley problem. It's a tenuous link because I can't find the post, but I was reminded of it as I watched a series of five You Tube videos today, in which the trolley problem was discussed.

I became aware of the videos via the RSS feed from the website of that shrill-and-strident-chap-whose-name-must-not-be-mentioned, I have long been of the opinion that all gods, without exception, are figments of human imagination, so the title of the video series prompted me to view them. Here's the first in the series of five (the links to the other four are below, and if you want to go straight to the trolley problem discussion, it's in part 3).
