Now if I go to NOAA the time ticks do....Hmmm whatever could that mean. I know those controlling the weather also control time.

The 2 toned moon with a 12mile tall equatorial ridge isn't a moon at all! In fact: Iapetus is not one of the normal “moonsâ€? of Saturn -- but is actually a 900-mile-wide, manufactured, ancient world-sized spaceship ... created under 1/40th terrestrial gravity according to a fractally apparent, “tetrahedralâ€? pattern! Nothing else makes sense. You read that right. No mention if this was the spaceship that was hiding behind Comet Hale Bopp or not... I've never seen anyone who could gather so much evidence from so few photons, or neurons :) So like any websurfing lemming, I followed the Hoagland link, and read the facinating story of the Saturnian moon Iapetus.

Just wanted to let you know that our "Halloween Special" public night was all about Astronomy Tricks and Treats. We had fun faking the Coriolis Force ( the equator now runs through Tacoma Washington!), we balanced eggs, had some nice chats about our other favorite 'myths worth debunking", and astronomy related 'watch out for's prior to the upcoming gift giving season.

I wish this were an accurate indication of how antiscience is doing vs. science. If Hoagland's (and others') nonsense weren't profitable, that would make the job of legitimate scientists so-o-o-o much easier! And remove annoyances for the rest of us reasonable individuals.
