Here we go, "irrational exhuberance" all over again!

[Tijeras_Slim]

And my week was going so well...

[Charles Martel]

Bump for later reading

[SGCOS]

Better stock up on some Campbells soup.

[AdA$tra]

I am getting in the shower as we speak.

[azhenfud]

I found a dime on the sidewalk and that makes all my local calls free of charge today....

, our cosmos may be in danger of collapsing in a "mere" 10 to 20 billion years, according to the Stanford team

That's ok ... the little green men / democrats of the future will try to legislate the problem away.

Gravity taxes.

*&$*%#$, I just bought green bananas...

[Grut]

NEVER trust a contractor who says he can have the whole thing up and running in six days!

[xJones]

I don't kere, I got me a good life insurance policy.

[Lucas1]

Well by that time Planet Earth will have been destroyed several times over by meteors or asteroids. No need to panic...over this story :)

[Larry Lucido]

Damn global warming! Well, we better start planning now. A few extra support beams should keep the thing from snapping back too fast. Better pass a "Contraction" tax, just in case, though.

Obviously, this is a result of the Bush administration's abandonment of the Kyoto Treaty.

The recent discovery that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate has led many astronomers to forecast a dark and lonely future for our galaxy.

And all posited on the assumption that red shift is a product of recessional velocity. Take that assumption away, and the whole edifice falls apart. And that assumption has already been thoroughly contradicted by observations for decades. Modern Big Bang astronomy is simply an example of a corpse that hasn't stopped moving yet.

[Publius6961]

I knew that!

Now go away...
I was busy preparing for it.

[Age of Reason]

The universe is collapsing, the universe is expanding, space is curved, space is flat, the ozone hole is growing, then it's shrinking, fat is bad for your, fat is good for you, drink 8 glasses of water, then drink no one knows how much water, then drink too much water and you deplete your electrolites and die, nothing travels faster than light, then something does, then it didn't exactly, save the whales, there's too many whales, Kinko the whale is saved, then he's not saved, beer is bad for you, wine is good, then wine is bad and beer is better . . . .

And this prisioner and that prisoner is set free because genetic testing has proven his innocence for all time.

Until science changes its mind again.

People want to understand their place in the universe, how it was created and how it all will end – if at all. That is something that I would be happy to know the answer to and would pay my taxpayer money for.

At least he admits the source of his funding for such leisure activities as stargazing.

Darned foreigners.
