1. I don't know if they will after they reopen, but the CA Academy of Sciences used to have a whole
gallery of Far Side cartoons. It was great.

4. actually, that's not true (and that's a big problem!)
Astrologers (the "real" ones, as I'm sure they'd reassure you) do lots of math to calculate the relative positions of heavenly bodies in the sky. The trouble is that their use of mathematical machinery tricks some into believing what they do is scientific!

BS + math still equals BS

5. Wait, you don't believe Astrology is scientific?
Then how do you explain the title of this textbook: http://www.amazon.com/Simplified-Scientific-Astrology-Philosophic-Encyclopedia/dp/B000M9QDW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215462001&sr=1-1

The thing I like about that comic is not the inaccurate contrast between astronomy and astrology, but the reaction of the students. Sadly, a tad too accurate.
