Default Phil on APOD!

Check it out:

Go you, Phil! Maybe this'll help quash that myth... (and I love that picture!)

Great!

And two days before, the APOD referenced JayUtah's Clavius website.

Hey jokergirl!

Don't you agree that Phil looks a little bit like Bernd das Brot in this photo? :roll:

(Deciphering the meaning of the last sentence is left as an excercise for the non-German readers here... ;-))

I'm sorry, but I'm a helpless case in pop culture. Who is Bernd das Brot?
I'm sure I've heard the name before, but...

This is probably as good a place as any to ask this question that has been bugging me for years...

Does anyone know what the "antwrp" in APOD's URL means? It makes me think of a place in Belgium
