Jul 28, 2009 - So I guess they didn't allow you to eat jerky or granola bars in the observatory, f00t?

Jul 28, 2009 - And to think of all those people who say that science decreases the beauty of the universe...

Jul 28, 2009 - how does it feel being part of such marvelous history of exploration, TF? :))

geffel Says:

Jul 28, 2009 - I appreciate that, Stig, but as he drew closer to his destinations a little note here and there would have been nice, although I also appreciate his right to privacy and solitude. I didn't really expect a response, and as it turned out I was way too hungover to be driving anywhere on Saturday.

Jul 29, 2009 - I am allways astounded when people acuse sceptics of worshipping science because the reverence i feel for the discoveries of science are entirly based on what has been showen to be reasonable to asume not on any type of faith. equally the idea that science is some sort of sinister entity is often promoted by the very same people despite the obvous stupidity of this anthropomorisation of science. great videos nice work

Jul 29, 2009 - I know that I worship science, it has given me everything I know. Religion has given me nothing...because while it is man-made, it is useless to me and mankind on any practical level. Myths are fun when your 7 not 27.

0okamino Says:

Jul 29, 2009 - Myths can be fun at any age (I still enjoy lots of mythology for the fiction that it is). It just becomes less rational to actually believe them as you get older. On to other topics: thunderf00t is walking in the footsteps of great scientific minds. How appropriate! Literal and figurative.

Geodge Says:

Aug 31, 2009 - The LA fire is seriously threatening Mt Wilson at the moment. The firefighters have said that currently, the fire is "boss". Sucks.

0okamino Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - The fire is very unfortunate news! Hopefully it will be gotten under control. There very will could be rain coming up, though, which after a fire can bring the threat of mudslides. I'm hoping for the best, or at least not the worst.

Geodge Says:

Sep 4, 2009 - It looks like the observatory's gonna make it through unscathed. Close call there--unfortunately, fire has caused at least two deaths, many many homes lost.

0okamino Says:

Sep 4, 2009 - I'm glad to hear about the observatory, but still sad for all the people who lost so much to the fires (some of it probably irreplaceable). Was the cause ever really determined? All I heard was some back and forth opinions.
