University of Oxford, Baby!
Somebody must have been drunk. You will need to scroll all the way down to a section called PUBLIC REACTION:

"Over the course of the Cassini–Huygens journey, over 374,000 pages of information has been generated on the Internet concerning all aspect of the mission...The coverage includes the people behind the mission, the larger questions of life and humanity that may arise from the research, and the transmission of facts, achievements, and milestones, by which we as the public may judge Cassini–Huygen's success."

And then there is my column.

Women Trouble
I think the Tobey Maguire on steroids storm has passed, but now I have a completely new demographic of women upset at me for suggesting - wrongly as I'm being told - that Hugh Laurie, who plays the scruffy Dr. House on the Fox show House, M.D., is average looking.

Breaking Tobey Maguire on Steroids News!
I've been called "a dope" by someone who refers to herself as, well, see for yourself. (At least I assume it's a herself.)

Tobey Maguire on Steroids?
It seems that this has become a major concern on a Tobey Maguire fan site. I can't understand how these rumors get started.

World Series Trophy Tour
It made it to our town yesterday and all four of us went to the high school to see it. We got there a half hour early, and a long line had already formed. Then finally it arrived, and was placed on a table and they started letting people walk by it and take pictures with it. This was helped along by one of the police officers on duty who, as each family approached the trophy, he reached out for their camera to take their picture. The problem was that when it was our turn we were so focused on posing for the picture that we forgot to actually look at the trophy. With so many people there, they kept the line moving. It felt like the scene in A Christmas Story when Ralph visits Santa and forgets why he was there until they are pushing him down the slide. As we were walking away and other people were posing, I turned back for one parting glance.

If the trophy comes this way again, I hope it's at a time when we can go - but without our camera.
