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 Meteorites
and
When Space Attacks: The 6 Craziest Meteor Impacts
Yes, 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!
