I don't believe it, after a few minutes of inactivity it allowed me to post

Love the homeopathy discussion

I did the demo on my own, and couldn't bring myself to do it in a public sort of manner. I just sat against the railings - a very nice comfortable spot actually, with the river behind me - and ate all the pills like a packet of crisps. Wongo has just calculated that in order to find a single molecule of the arnica it professed to contain, you'd have to buy so many tubes it would cost the equivalent of 2 billion billion billion Apollo programmes! A lovely lady from the local paper came to chat with me for a while. She hadn't even realised Boots sold homeopathy. I showed her the shelves of it, how only 1 of the many vials actually stated the symptom it was supposed to treat. While we talked, a bloke came up, bought 2, and vouched for its efficacy. The pills were yummy, sugary, and crunchy - and I haven't felt anything at all. Next step I suppose will be Pluk's remedy!

Just listened to A. C. Clarke's 'Before Eden' on BBC R7 - it's a fable of what happens when you don't take your rubbish home (from a visit to a planet) and an non-earth organism eats it.

In a suitably astronomical vein, I calculated that the amount of water you'd need to have a chance of having a molecule of arnica would come to about 15,000 solar masses. Broadly speaking, on a clear night in ideal conditions, with your naked eye you will have around the right number of stars to add up to that much matter. Maybe not quite enough, but not far off.

Just testing my alternative USB Keyboard which is far nicer to use than  the one
 on the Laptop  which is a wrist and hand killer.

So the Countdown has started for ASTROFEST Next weekend is going to be real busy for me.

Any one herd from Scary this year or has she vanished into the italian Black Hole of Astronomy?
