Comments on: Touring the Tarantula http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/01/05/touring-the-tarantula/ 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.

It was Jesus. Or possibly the Virgin Mary. Or, maybe, a cheese sandwich. But not Phil. That wasn’t Phil.

But not Phil.
