Today in Science (1022)

By jlynch on October 22, 2007.

Good Monday morning to all my readers, especially to the 406 who read the blog via Feedburner. Did you know, that if each and everyone of you donated a mere $10 to our DonorsChoose drive, we’d have raised a total of $5,353 and will have met our challenge goals? That’s less than three cents a day spread over a year, and overall ten dollars well spent.

You know what to do ...

Thank you Dr. Lynch for helping us pin point the creation of the universe. Of course I'm kidding but I have long enjoyed the lack of wonderment that so many of our fundamentalist brothers have and any reference to Ussher is a refreshing aside. I've been reading (and collecting) your updates for about 4 months and am anxiously awaiting a tribut to Richard Demski.
