Comments on: In which I am speechless http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/07/31/in-which-i-am-speechless/ 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 wasn't until I took a closer look at the URL that I realized it wasn't www.DEPILATEDCRANIUM.com, but www.DEPLETEDCRANIUM.com... I was gonna give the Big Bad Astronomer a Big Bad Astronomer Hug, but Mrs BA became very possessive, and fended me off with a combination of double-probation super secret ninja moves and a very large boat hook (pointy). (Disclaimer - ok, yeah, I live in the Denver area, but I don't know precisely where BA lives, I've never met him or his family, nor would I look it up. Poor man needs SOME privacy. On the other hand.. it IS fun to make him squirm a bit) Y’know – I spent 30 minutes trying to get to PZ’s site as a result of this.
