Craving a little doubt in your life? Check out the 84th edition of the Skeptics’ Circle of blog posts, hosted at Archaeoporn. As usual in such blog carnivals, there’s a lot of stuff to keep you reading when your boss isn’t looking. Since I work at home, my boss is never looking. Which is good, because sometimes I’m not wearing pants.
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.

At least he didn’t say “underpants” (of course, in the UK, its the same thing!)

“… sometimes I’m not wearing pants.”
Many people wondered about that when the Bad Astronomy uStream Channel was being streamed.
Many still do.

No pants? Ekkkkk… Where’s the brain bleach?

Is that some kind of astronomer dress code?

What? Isn’t Mrs BA at home? You’re playing with fire implying you don’t have a boss at home Phil.

Didn’t you guys see his calendar page? Apparently Phil observes in that state, also.
