Comments on: Emily live! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/05/13/emily-live/ 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.

You actually resemble PZ!</i> I never really thought of that before, but I suppose I sort of do resemble him. Something makes me recall that he's about 5'9 or so, which would make me quite a bit taller. We came about our cephalopodity quite differently I suspect. @jewel

Emily has a great entry on that somewhere in that huge blog of hers (and PS'es too, of course). In a nutshell, she says they might have been generated by ejecta flying off from a big impact on Mars. Too late around here (and I'm too sleepy) to go dig it up right now, but I might do it tomorrow if you're interested. Nice reply on the "ethereal" characteristic of dark matter too, BTW... :) Speaking of which, Phil, remember when you talked about the ridges in Phobos during the last vid chat?

Indeed. I usually look like this in photographs:

But in person, I’m not quite that tall.
