8. I like that. I'm using it from now on. nt

[WCGreen]

12. Zoolander and Con-Air were movies that played over and over in

my head while I was in a drug induced coma in 2004.

I incorporated their "hijinks" into my dream world.

I refuse to watch either movie now. I don't want to destroy my fantasy world.

Which wasn't enough time.

[HuckleB]

[blogslut]

I thought it was something said my Lady Mrs. Governor Palin.

[liberal N proud]

30. He should go talk to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Ph.D., astrophysicist

Director of the Hayden Planetarium.

A Physics Studmuffin with a Ph.D. My kind of man!!!!

[Retrograde]

31. Hey, keep your hands off of him!

He's mine - even though we've never met and aren't likely to. He's always so enthusiastic about what he does.

I loved his book on Pluto!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

55. You have seen the pic of him with Pluto the dog?

Looking through a telescope for Pluto? Hilarious. Google him, you'll find it.

I met him in Nov. at a fundraiser for Oklahoma State U. that he spoke at. He said that some woman who must be a tailor, sized him up and made him vests with those old fashioned suns and moons and stars on them.

I already have a physics studmuffin, but he's older than Tyson, he only has a BS and MS in math/EE/physics.

Picture from my blog of Tyson with a quote from his Ph.D. speech. Hubby made it in photoshop:

[kwassa]

32. He has a history of being in the buff.

rather cosmopolitan of him.

[Quixote1818]

38. Big deal

Natural History is still history. Maybe he is a "Natural History Buff" and just didn't say the sentence exactly right.

[emilyg]

39. They have an Ethnology Dept.

[Quixote1818]

40. Good point, the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History has an Ethnology Dept. nt

[Hippo_Tron]

42. I bet he drives his truck there all the time

Did you know that Scott Brown drives a truck?

[eleny]

44. Pssst.... Natural History Museums also have a wealth of exhibits about cultures

This is one of those times when it's good to remember that high horses have slippery saddles. And that goes for Rachel's scoffing over this, too.

As an Anthropology student I spent more time in the library at the Natural History Museum in NYC as well as studying the exhibits about ancient *history*. For example, when you want to learn about ancient Egyptians, where do you go? The Natural History Museum. When you want to see a hall of totem poles, where would you go? Oops. That's right - the Natural History Museum.

I'm on his side here regardless of his politics.

[FailureToCommunicate]

47. !

[Quixote1818]

51. Thank you, me too. nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

48. I thought he liked history 'IN the buff'...

[mgc1961]

53. I wonder,...

does Mr. Brown go to the Air and Space Museum for an exhibit about plate tectonics?
