Paul Harris… Paul Harris… Oh! You mean Harris in the Morning!

Yeah, I know he hasn’t been called that for a decade, since they cancelled his popular and low-key show with a generic box of stale Morning Zoo, but he’ll always be Harris in the Morning to me.

AARRGGHH!! In the first line it should read: “… around the centre of the Galaxy.”

Phil, can we please have a preview/edit facility here, before I kill somebody!

Dr. Phil Plait mentions in his radio interview that the stars are moving around the centre if the Galaxy. Well, here's an interesting/useless (depending on your mind-set) fact: ^*The Sun & the Solar-system orbits the centre of the Galaxy at velocity of 251 km/s (new estimate), and takes 225-250 million years to complete one orbit. This is equivalent to about one light-year every 1,190 years, and about one AU every 7 days. ^*Source: Wikipedia.

@ The Chemist

You’re right. The Russian spelling (Cyrillic) for Moscow is Москва, romanized: Moskvá.

I love Paul Harris. I used to listen to him in St. Louis.

OT Oh, another problematic telegraph list. This one is optical illusions.

Another person who insists on using a normal sound effect as a ringtone. Amen!

@Ivan3Man
I don’t know why it’s pronounced Mosc-anything with a vowel after the “c”. In Russian it’s pronounced “Moskva”. Which is why we call people from there Muscovites. Which makes no sense if we continue calling it Moss-Cow (a phrase which reminds me of Chia pets).
