While you're watching for Perseid meteors, the double cluster in Perseus is awesome to behold in binoculars. Another cluster nearby is M34 but it's stupid, don't look at it.

I think I'm ready to start taking life two days at a time.

I'm looking for lesser red mutagens to finish out the skill tree but Nekkers and Ghouls usually only shed green and blue mutagens, rarely red. And once you grapeshot a nest it's not like they respawn. So I'm swift-boating the outer Skelige for every last Drowner and Water Hag.

This is sort of sad so you may want to skip it. In my early years of the planetarium the shows for scout groups were free, and they would bring me rice krispie treats. Once we started charging a fee that stopped. That's it. Thank you for your kind attention.

For those of you who haven't met me, I'm a pudgy old bald star hopper and the real reason I'm on here is to find out what the kids are calling it these days. In my day it was the bed spring boogie.

As much as I love astronomy, it takes up too much of my time and I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics such as cleaning and maintaining my home, so something has to give. I will be getting rid of ALL of my kit.

Don't get me wrong, I love America. Oh it's totally a whore of Babylon though.

Welcome to America. Due to the discrepancy in hot dog and bun packaging, two of you will be eating a hot dog without a bun.

Today is July 4. Take time to remember that the United States is no longer a collection of British colonies. And that Britain is no longer a northern outpost of the Roman Empire. And that Rome is no longer a loose confederacy of semi-nomadic tribes that fled south from Germanic tribes in the Caucus Mountains. And that all the Caucasoid tribes migrated north from the original Africans after evolving from early hominids when a geological rift altered leeward weather patterns. It makes me so proud.

When did the Olympics become a racist institution?
Answer: April 6, 1896.

I bought some 2x4's to build some shelving although I didn't really need shelves. But then I had a bunch of 2x4's left over and needed a place to store them. So it worked out.

I'm paring down my Tycho Brahe lecture so which is more important, the supernova of 1572, or that he had a pet moose that died when it drank too much beer and fell down the stairs?

What did Watson and Crick discover?
BUZZZzzzz
The correct answer was "Rosalind Franklin's notes."

If your cosmology paper is based on quantum mysticism I will be attacking your sources with one hand behind my back (which will be holding a taser).

If aliens ever do come down from space I'm going to be so embarrassed when my grandma tells them how god helped Oklahoma score a touchdown.

Plz don't say it will lead to people marrying their dogs. Dogs can't sign contracts, and even if they could, it wouldn't be legal because they don't understand what they are signing, and even if they could, we all know they would sign anything for half your sandwich.
