A bunch of people who I follow on Live Journal are doing this meme, so here’s mine. I especially like the dimensions of my garage being measured in light-seconds.

Grandad tests out Anti-SUV rockets. Quite effective.

Phil Plait has a posting concerning a major TV personality who doesn’t know whether the Earth is flat. Phil hit it hard, but I’ll reiterate one of his points. It is just not possible to exist in an industrialized country in the 21st century and not know that the Earth is a ball. People who …
