Now, rye didn’t I think of this? Update: If that link doesn’t work, the page is cached here.
Oh well. Crusty as I am, all I’d get out of it are a bunch of crumby burnt offerings, anyway.

About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

Link worked fine for me. I also loved the guy’s bit about the imminent damage to the internet due to Ron Paul dropping out of the race…

Weird. I see it as being gone now too. I updated the entry just in case.

Very funny. I laughed by buns off.

I’m having no trouble at all with the page.

Best article ever!!!
Those atheists see weird things everywhere!!
Next they’ll start seeing Phil Plait’s face on a dog’s butt!!

It’d be better than seeing a dog’s butt on Phil’s face.

Hahaha… Good one!! I hope the BA doesn’t mind us making fun of him like that!
Ohh well, I’ll just buy his book and I’m sure he’ll forgive us!

I think i saw the Cosmos in a slice of pizza once…..or it might just have been the arrangement of the pepperoni topping….Bad Lunch? !1!

Good one! I saw the Face on Mars in a chocolate chip cookie once.
Did you catch Dr. Neil Degrasse (Sp) Tyson on Colbert last night. Colbert is now an Astrophysicist.

I saw Cosmos once while eating a piece of pizza. Does that count?

I caught a glimpse of the cosmic background radiation in my refried beans and enchiladas at lunch today. It was a fleeting glimpse of the infinite in my tex-mex until the cheese melted a little bit more. I’m now keeping an eye out for something akin to the Ultra Deep Field image in a taco shell.

That’s not the Big Bang! That’s Isaac Crouton. Or is it Sir Bread Hoyle?
