I’m busy recovering from Comic Con as well as prepping a CC post, so in the meantime why not head over to The Dynamics of Cats to read the 113th Carnival of Space? That’ll keep your mind off the anticipation of me posting all my cool pix from the con this year.
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.

What does it say about me that I was thinking this post was about the Church of Scientology until I actually read it?

@ DLC:
When big movie studios found out that the demographics of Comicon match the demographics of those who go to see their crappy comic-book movies.
Using “comic book” in a pejorative sense, mind you.
