a lowly engineer 's attempt at hard science reporting and digressions into a childhood ecstacy not yet lost

My eye is still wonky, but the US might get haggis!
No news on the eyeball front. Since it is now beyond 1:30 PM EDT, I feel that a reading of my eyeball angiographs must not require immediate surgical intervention. Yay for small things. I was much more worried than my last post indicated.In other exiting news, the US is considering lifting the ban on haggis! How exciting is that? Of course it's only a wee bit of a omnibus trade deal between the US and the UK-EU empire of evil. Just kidding to the three Americans clamoring for genuine Scottish haggis.I cannot really read the news as yet. However, from Fox News Science comes Ancient Asteroid Destroyer Finally Found and it's a new kind of meteorite. Can Fox shit out a headline or what? At any rate, the reason I picked Fox News to provide my gentle reader with a sciency story is because of all the the great headlines found in the right sidebar...courtesy of Live Science. Danger! Falling Rocks: Meteorites and Asteroids (Infographic)Fallen Stars: A Gallery of Famous MeteoritesandWhen Space Attacks: The 6 Craziest Meteor ImpactsYes, gentle reader, those are the actual headlines from Live Science. Sigh.These are four reasons why I don't use Fox News as a source..don't most of their science denying audience believe in a 6000 year old creation myth?Live Science is pandering to the truly uninformed. Sure, the last article is a very geo-centric bit of provincialism, but to not at least give a passing nod to Shoemaker-Levy 9 and its really spectacular series of impacts on that Jovian planet seems like a "swing and a miss" to this astro-geek.That's all for today as I am on eye rest, and DNS(Dragon Naturally Speaking) is giving me fits!
