Comments on: The Milkiest of Milky Ways http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/03/20/the-milkiest-of-milky-ways/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

B) I could go into a rant about milk and slaughter houses - but I won't. Just consider this word: parasite. C) There is evidence that eating meat (any kind) causes our bones to release calcium, thereby creating a vicious (vicious, I tell you) cycle of steak/milk/burger/milk . . . .

I haven't seen the word "excoriate" used in a long time. Personally I would have chosen "excise" in that instance, but it is fun to see an old friend of a word that hardly ever gets to see the light of day! :mrgreen: Though we eschew obfuscation, specificity over speciosity every time!

Aliens can breed them. Although it might take them to figure out how to care for them. If you wanted to clone a cow. You would have to make sure that you got the perfect cow. How could aliens figure that out with enough time? Who needs to clone? Aliens can breed them. Although it might take them to figure out how to care for them. If you wanted to clone a cow.

There are no dummies in space, just cow anuses...what if the ufo's are rigged to look like clumsily-disguised helicopters?
