Comments on: Neil Tyson on Colbert again http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/02/14/neil-tyson-on-colbert-again/ 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.

Yes, they're two different disciplines, but the Colbert Report producers may think that the disciplines are too similar to each other. So, unless one can engineer a situation where Dr Tyson is scheduled to be on, but is somehow incapacitated. Then, they'll have to find someone to sub for him, and Dr Plait will JUST HAPPEN to be in New York. I suggest badgers.

Now I'm a Walmart associate in charge of cans having missing labels. It's not fair the the universe makes Stephen puke and he still gets to be an astrophysicist. Can't you talk to someone for me, Phil? I was about three months from earning my Masters at MIT when the creation of the universe made me puke.

Know why? Astrophysicists have to hang out in total darkness in the middle of the night on top of mountains. Know what else hangs out on the tops of mountains in total darkness in the middle of the night? And have fangs and claws and are really really big? Bears!! That's right, nuf said.
