I'd put in a bid as long as my amazon.com orders can be delivered there.

Thanks to quantum physics, the "same" brain cell in a parallel universe is making the opposite decision, so it all balances out.

This might work when I feel a-hankerin for some new X-File episodes and don't want to watch reruns.

Heard more backstory on this from NPR. Apparently, Hanny van Arkel was browsing an astronomy website of Bryan May's (yes, that Bryan May) and found a link to where anyone can help review archived star photographs to id new objects as part of the Galaxy Zoo project and asked them "what's that green blob?"

It was I, you fools! The man you trusted wasn't Wavy Gravy at all! And all this time, I've been smoking harmless tobacco.
