Comments on: Brian Cox: A Day in the Life http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/02/24/brian-cox-a-day-in-the-life/ 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.

The Amazing Randy... is he out to poo-poo something someone believes they saw again? What is it with people like this jerk anyway? They always have to say the exact opposite of what everyone else says and then demand that he's the only one who is right. I would not spend a penny or a moment of my life on Earth listening to a damn thing this guy says. This site really is a bag of crap. Oh boy.

I have been greatly enjoying listening to his podcasts of his college classes. I came across his lectures just a few weeks ago when I was looking for astronomy podcasts on ITunes.

Your friend, Brian Cox, is an excellent writer. Clear, concise and entertaining. Maybe he should do a book, "Looking for Mass in all the Right Places".
