Is this scibling PZ Myers or some other PZ Myers?

Wouldn't it be ironic if this particular asteroid at some point slammed into Earth and generated a kind of Armageddon!

Virgil: I was surprised to learn this morning that not everything happens on the internet. I heard it on the radio. I googled it and nothing came up. So maybe it is not real. But, like I say, maybe some stuff happens off the 'net. Kinda hard to believe, though.

Ian: Yes, the radio said "Paul Myers, Biologist, Morris, Studies Zebra Fish" ... that can only be PZ.
