Last Wednesday saw the bad astronomer

Phil plait appeared and gave his talk Death From The Skies. It dealt with meteor strikes and that possibility and threat from near earth asteroids.

He also poked fun at some popular scifi movies that had a theme of asteroids or comets hitting the earth.

Here is a picture from The emu lecture.

There was actually a full house. My friend Art from the Faac club was ripped off by the automatic parking machine, meter at the emu parking lot. It was malfunctioning and he ended up getting charged $8 instead of the $3 he was supposed to be paying. By the time I got to the metered gate a guard had come up and noticed the problem and allowed many cars to leave for free.
