The BadAstronomer is a great site - I love almost everything they post. Way to go, kepler: find us some inhabitable worlds quickly, because we're trashing this one as fast as we can! While you're looking, I'll be standardizing my petroleum-rich lifestyle by consuming only pre-packaged things wrapped in non-biodegradable packaging, because science will save my ass!

By the way, each time I log onto this site, there's new functionality. Not sure how this new posting thing works, but it sure looks interesting!
