Bad Astronomy is devoted to debunking myths and misconceptions about astronomy, and also to slap down without apology bad thinking in all its forms.
Name: Phil
Age: 44
I am an astronomer, writer, lecturer, critical thinker, and, yes, calendar model. I run the Bad Astronomy website and write a blog there debunking bad astronomy, bad science, and bad thinking in general.

I just seen: you will be speeking in gnomedex 9.0! It's wicket, dude.

Also, i assume your'e a geek too(no offence, in the good way), since you talked with Chris Pirillo in TechTV, AND you will be speeking in Gnomedex.

And that Wicket thing, Wicket is dog of Chris and when he did video on wireless A/V, he used word Wicket to describe ultra-mega-super-awesome.

I believe we probably went to the moon, but it's also obvious that NASA isn't always very honest. Astronomy is still in its infancy and probably in another 40/50 years we'll discover that most of what we know at the moment is incorrect. When you take both those things into account, maybe things aren't as clear as we think and maybe it's not such a good idea to slap people down.
Peace.
