	<description>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.</description>

		<description>Hey Phil, do you have hammertoe?  Judging by the way your toes have that angle, it looks like it.  Unless the socks are too small or something and you are curling your toes on purpose.</description>

		<description>We&#039;re having a fab, fab time.  Me and our youngest, Ben, went to the Birmingham Hippodrome theatre to see their pantomime &#039;Alladin&#039;.  In the lead role is John Barrowman - Captain Jack from Dr. Who and Torchwood.  They used a little Dr. Who stuff AND we had 3 Daleks *Live On Stage*.

		<description>I note that Phils second toe does not exceed in length the first, indicating he has no relationship to European royalty.

No wonder he&#039;s so smart,,,no inbreeding,,,

		<description>sweet socks.

I used to have a pair.. but found that - as with gloves / fingers - if the individual tube is too short for the toe, the darn things are almost impossible to play the piano in.

Now, I&#039;m going to step outside and light a huge bonfire to drive the clouds away so my youngest and I can use his new Telescope and CCD</description>

		<description>Hey,  Phil.  Love the socks.

My 6 year old daughter and I got an amazing x-mas present this year.

500 minutes on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slooh.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SLOOH&lt;/a&gt;, as well as a copy of H.A. Rey&#039;s &lt;a&gt; The Stars&lt;/a&gt;.

No &#039;scope yet, but this&#039;ll be more than enough to whet our appetites.</description>
