You want me to take it off? It does remove the puzzle solving element of it...

No, it was just a joke. Charlie in Dayton already got it anyway. Good work though, and thanks for asking! :wink:

We should like to point out that this is from (perhaps) the funniest episode ever of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I believe it was Chuckles the Clown who had died, and this was his catch-phrase (the English version). The show envolved most of the cast making jokes about how he died (IIRC he was dressed as a peanut and been squeezed to death by an elephant), and Mary being apalled at them. I remember laughing so much I cried. It's starting to bring tears to my eyes even now.

Good grief! I had completely forgot about that episode. It's been years since I've seen that. And I have to say its one of the only ones I remember even vaguely . And yes it was incredibly funny.

Hmmm... too young for that. I just remember hearing it somewhere and finding it VERY funny. Maybe I'd better find that episode somewhere...

How about:

"Astronomy for the Intellectually Challenged"?

Then again, Dr. Phil Plait can simply reissue the same text for "Bad Astronomy" with a new title. Now, that is BAD BAD ASTRONOMY!

ljbrs :wink:

Yahbut, somehow, I don't think it has anything to do with planetary geography.

No, when I said it's geography... see there's birds and bees, right? And then- ah, who cares... :roll:

How about: "Der! Bad Astronomy Returns!"

The word "Der!" we use in our gaming group a lot. It signifies a momentary laspe of stupidity followed by realization of said stupidity.

DER! I think you meant a "momentary lapse in intelligence". I love ironic situations like this! :wink:
