@16 – I see that, but I also remember that even Doof thought Professor Destructicon’s plan to set fire to the sun was pointless. “Dude you really gotta let that one go, it’s a ball of fire, it makes no sense.”

#9 is free to voice his/her opinion as much as the next person. Just because it is all rhetoric and devoid of facts/value does not mean they should be censored.

It would be interesting to know just WHAT axe that #9 is grinding tho…

You seem to be labouring under the delusion that anyone here actually gives a rodent’s rectum about your opinion, or any of your insane rantings. Please feel free to go and make a moron of yourself somewhere else, before the nice men in the white coats come to take you back to your comfy padded room.

Of course, #9, I was completely oblivious to the pop-culture before you saved me. I thought NASA had really discovered an old man in the sun this week!

Alan estimates that at its peak the eruption was 150,000+ kilometers (100,000 miles) in height…

Or, not quite half the distance from the Earth to the moon. Yikes!

Personally, I think that one photo also looks a lot like Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb.

@9. To those who share the interest into which Phil Blogs, we do not need a lot of information to draw conclusions and understand the topic being presented. We understand that Mr. Plait owns this Blog and choses to share items of his interest drawing on his own interests and experiences in the life long fields of which he as earned his Dr’s degree(s). I would love to be able to step into his shoes for a short time to meet the people and experiences (and hands on) that have been encountered along the way. (working on Hubble design, etc). wow.

My world expands in all directions when presented with new facts.

Crowd: Boo!
Burns: Are they booing me?
Smithers: Ah, no sir, they are saying Boo-Urns!
Burns: Are you people saying boo, or Boo-Urns?
Crowd: Boo!
Moleman: I was saying Boo-Urns!

I can force Mister Burns into the image, but what I really saw is that dragon thing from Neverending Story, about where Burns’ hair would be and looking to the left of the frame.

Also, I just went and read some of #9′s writings elsewhere on the web. Wow.
