Yeah, I think you are an hour ahead Hanny.
Startling and worrying new discovery! A new strain of galaxyzooitis - the Moderator strain! (Strain both as in strain, ie type, of bacteria, and as in overdoing things.) I was having a chat about Queen with someone and he pointed out that I wrote "threads" when I meant to write "albums". As in something along the lines of '"A Night at the Opera" and "A Day at the Races" are my favourite threads' . . .
Now this is a controversial and flummoxing strain of this serious disease. I say this because, to an observer from inside Galaxy Zoo, my particular illness seems to result in a sort of reverse Galaxyzooitis while online: I keep bringing in things from the outside world. I see penguins, traffic lights and dinosaurs when looking at galaxies. I do not know if this is a sort of defence mechanism of the X-ray (as opposed to white) blood cells, or if I am living in a sort of schizophrenic dream land in which neither galaxies nor the rest of the Planet Earth are real, and I cannot tell them apart.
We need more data on this starstruckmaking phenomenon, in order to ascertain whether it should be treated or embraced. Or, in my muddled case, both.
If I die of this disease, I'd like my Galaxy Zoo "39" spoof sung at my funeral.
