Comments on: South Park comes to Vega$ and The Amaz!ng Meeting! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/01/02/south-park-comes-to-vega-and-the-amazng-meeting/ 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.

Did Phil just include Penn and Teller in a statement about “other great folks”?</i> Nope, he included them in a statement about "scientists, skeptics, magicians, and general all-around fun people". I would say Penn and Teller qualify. Whoa! Did Phil just include Penn and Teller in a statement about “other great folks”?

Nope, he included them in a statement about “scientists, skeptics, magicians, and general all-around fun people”. I would say Penn and Teller qualify.

Did Phil just include Penn and Teller in a statement about "other great folks"? Teller, sure. Penn? A great entertainer, but as big a jerk as John Edwards, in his own way, someone who does damage to the skeptic movement by being so rude to even the people who agree with him. This senior citizen has had many a fantasy of slapping him and saying "grow up, you rich brat!" Yes, I know, slapping people isn't very mature....I said, it was a fantasy. Now, Julia....no question....very nice and worth the trip. But the Amazing Meeting is a bit pricey for folks on social security so it is a little too exclusive for some of us. Go, Phil, and write at length about it. Whoa! Did Phil just include Penn and Teller in a statement about “other great folks”? Teller, sure. Penn?
