It’s a night for surfing around.
Here is a site which lists a Cthulu antenna ball for your car. Intersting in and of itself, but take a look at this close up picture of a bunch of them together.
Do you see what I see?
I see a cat toy in the background!
I imagine there was one freaked-out kitty with this army of green cat-toy sized monsters!
It’s good to see that the State of the Union this year was once again:
1) Vague Platitudes
2) Unfunded Initiatives
3) Veiled insults to the opposite party
Does anyone remember the “Death to People who Use Steroids”? I do…

If you are not a reader of The Bad Astronomy Blog, I’ll point you to a recent post which has received a lot of comments. Quite interesting reading, from low to high brow.
January 26th, 2006 is the 20th anniversary of the Challenger Disaster. Seven astronauts lost their lives. Today, we remember them.
My family and I had lived in Satellite Beach, Florida for nine years until the summer of 1985. We saw the first Space Shuttle launch, Voyager I and II, and everything in between. We moved to New Hampshire 6 months before Challenger blew up. I’m very lucky because I did not have to personally watch it explode overhead, and I would have been watching the launch.
In a few days, we will remember Columbia from just three years ago. Once again, I lucked out because I had planned to waken in time to watch the shuttle go overhead during its reentry. Thankfully, I slept through it as NASA believes the main breakup occurred almost directly over the city I was living in at the time, Lubbock, TX.
Hopefully, I will no longer need to be thankful for any close brushes with aerospace disaster. NASA needs to develop a more dependable crew module for ascent and descent; one which is intelligently conceived and prosecuted, unlike the space shuttle program. A program with a lot more bang for our buck.

Using the lottery as a retirement vehicle? I’d check out this website first.
Thanks to friend Fraudirector, I was made aware of this very scary article concerning the state of America’s College students.
I’m not sure if I’m depressed or overjoyed. Depressed for America’s failing education system. Overjoyed that I have some serious job security. After all, you need to divide and multiply in my job. Even use percentages!
I have a wild idea (totally out in left field here) that it may partially be to blame on New Math. It was a failure and may have made that generation dislike math to the extent that their children do not get the sort of support during grade school and high school that is needed to instill a thorough understanding of basic concepts.
Just a theory.
