Comments on: The horror http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/09/18/the-horror/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way.

Just teasing! Anyway, there's a meteor in Peru that is making people sick. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070918032309.snshi71r&show_article=1 IMHO, I think it just kicked up some sort of minor pathogen that was in the soil. Pathogens *love* soil preservation. 100 foot wide crater, though. Not too shabby. If you can tear yourself away from self promotion for a bit…

It's a cook book! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x0BSgLKnSk And so Phil Plait also gives PZ Myers and Pharyngula a gift, a beautiful hardcover book which he describes as “In praise of the Cephalopods.” Happily PZ Myers accepts but later, as he boards the plane, his assistant runs up: We translated the book!
