Comments on: Europe: Day 2 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/04/19/europe-day-2/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic.

Each to his own obsession, I suppose.

Just an advice, and a bit late, I know. But watching the southern horizon here from Nuremberg, I see neither a mushroom cloud nor any growing all-encompassing blackness, so there's hope. :D Phil, when you’re at CERN and you see a nice, big, red button labeled “DO NOT PRESS” or “NICHT DRÜCKEN” or “MRPH MRPH MRPH” — please do not press that thing.

I have visited it a half dozen times(hack, cough,,,). It reminds me quite a bit of San Francisco. Similar architecture and broad streets and such a liberal atmosphere. Only three km from Geneva? Can you take pictures of the city from the LHC site? T'would be a cool video post. Anticipating your future posts. GAry 7 I note you’re only 500 km from one of my favorite cities, Amsterdam.
