Comments on: Scientists accidentally bang out a big one http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/02/18/scientists-accidentally-bang-out-a-big-one/ 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.

I liked the Simpsons episode in which Homer invents a time machine, changes something in the time of the dinosaurs (ever read "The Sound Of Thunder"?) and returns to his own time to find his family changed in various ways.

For the record, just one 'L'. On a side note, the next time you're here to accept an honor for being such a kick-ass scientist, please stop by for a couple of refreshments at my bar. I believe even Rebecca would approve of the inventory of spirits available here.
