Radio Telescope Ga-Ga

I quote the Bad Astronomer, Phil Plait:

“Most people are surprised — I was when I first heard — that Brian May is actually a scientist. He had just started working on his PhD thesis when he got distracted by his guitar playing in some band or another. But he knew was gonna be a big man someday.”

His thesis is entitled Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud, and it seems he now has his degree. I only hope the “Flight of the Hawkmen” theme played as he accepted the honors.

This is just… excellent.

    That is indeed awesome.

    Hey do you guys still log in on Uther? We have been playing a bunch on there and I never see you, or at least not the characters’ whose names I have!

    I’ve been looking for you guys too! I haven’t been playing as much though lately.

    I wish they would let our “Friends” lists work cross-platform, because if I was Alliancing and I saw you pop up, I’d proabalby switch over.

    I’ll try to talk Starr into more Hording this week and keep an eye out for you.

    Maybe I should make an alliance character too. I don’t know. I can tell you for sure at least, we will not be on tuesdays and thursdays. that’s when my class is.

    right now we’re trying to get my warlock her dreadsteed on our old server since we ran out of rest XP bar on Uther. 🙂
