Comments on: Want: Part IV http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/01/31/want-part-iv/ 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.

If I had Photoshop, maybe I could add "And it looks at them, too." I monkeyed with the picture in Windows Paint so it says “Spirit Rocks”.

I'm a sap for the rovers, and it's in red and black, no less. Done deal. I like its simplicity and it could generate conversations – people would ask me what the heck it means.

After that, you need to start a band called "Spirit Says It's a Rock"; otherwise, the T-shirt will be meaningless. ;-) The problem is that this might be one of those “forgotten in six months” bits of pseudoscience.

I like the idea but the design lacks something. I think if there was an actual picture of the rock, most people would know what it's about. Bahhh… I like the idea but the design lacks something.

I mentioned my supervisor in a previous post, (I know it's redundant, but I spend 8 hours a day with the kook.) but he went on and on for an entire week about the Mars Bigfoot. . . He went as far as to colorize it, make his own stereograph and make me view it to try to convince me that there really is a female bigfoot chillin on a rock on Mars. *sigh* I need bigger doses of sanity to counteract what I put up with at work. . .
