Awww, thanks, I'm just glad people liked it! :)

I've been around for a while, but I still remember how great it felt having one of my comments pulled out of the grey (back then I guess it was the pink) by other commenters under the old "star" system. It really seemed my contributions were appreciated and welcomed. And when I got "starred" myself, I did my best to…

I remember reading about this in (I think) an Ivan T. Sanderson book (I was into Forteana pretty heavily in my teens). Had no idea the incident was an inspiration for The Blob, though.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting it's slated to air November 9th:

"A Trojan point brothel? Inconceivable!"

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #139 and #141. Don Rickles visits Morgan Edge and insults his whole staff. Meanwhile, Ugly Mannheim has fed Jimmy and Rickles's doppelganger "Goody" pyrogranulite crystals, and they're going to explode in less than 24 hours!

The wings weren't very sturdy, though, so you had to be careful where you threw it. And you for damn sure didn't let your little brother play…

I was following former ISS commander Chris Hadfield's series of near-Earth photos on Google+; glad to see Wakata is keeping the tradition alive! Beautiful! :)

Too bad the icons aren't larger — I have HubbleSite bookmarked just for their gorgeous photo albums!

I've always thought M31 in Andromeda was pretty iconic. (Don't know how well it would resize, but this pic is from Wikimedia Commons and should be okay for reuse.)

The sound of the hammers must never stop...
