Comments on: Amazing comic http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/29/amazing-comic/ 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 mean, we just passed the new moon, so it would, at best, be only a little sliver right now. Hardly enough to bring werewolves out. And I thought this was an astronomy blog! :) @Phil Plait

You should find someone who has the aging simulation software that law enforcement types use for missing persons and see if the Phil of the Future takes on the Randi of Right Now look. ;-) Phil, your photos have a pareidolic (pareidoliastic?) effect…when I see one, I see James Randi.

Not really. It's more complicated than that, like a baseball game: it's Randi's team, and I'm the coach. Still not a perfect analogy, but close. And it'll <i>never</i> be PPEF! That's not the point; Randi is The Man and the JREF will always ever be thus. No, I don’t run the organization. Not really.
