From Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Facebook post (http://www.facebook.com/#!/neiltyson):
"SuperMoons? A hoax spread by the under-educated on the under-informed claiming the Moon causes quakes. Saturday's full Moon is also closest to Earth in its oval orbit. Perigee happens once per month. Full Moon+Perigee coincide every 2 or 3 years. Last one: Dec 2008. Size? Saturday's moon is 7% larger than average. The difference between a 15 & 14-inch pizza. You are now better informed than the Press."
Any high school literature class that doesn't include a long discussion of the number 42 and the usefulness of a towel is, in this writer's opinion, not a literature class at all.
Yea, I'll download a Metallica album if they make it free. Will I pay for it? Not on your life.
Hope they do put it up online and don't make a dime. Bastards...

I'd rather see the Infocom HHGTTG Sequel completed/released.
I could care less how I get my HHGTTG, so long as I get it. Crack's got nothin' on The Book.
