I haven't heard that one yet. Since the Bible's a big book, he was
probably at it quite a while. And serves him right for spouting something
without checking where he heard it.

I have heard one guy spouting conspiracy theories concerning the Face
on Mars, but I expected some of that during the Opposition season.

A couple of others tried to wrangle me into talking about the nature of
the Universe, particulary their "unique" theories about it, but I excused
myself by saying I had to stay on Mars, since I had to explain to viewers
what it was they were seeing.

I once told some people who were looking at the Andromeda galaxy
through my binoculars and my C-8 that the light that was entering
their eyes has been traveling through space for two million years.

It didn't take long for somebody to tell me that was not possible,
because..."According to the WORD OF GOD, the light could only have
existed for 6,000 years."

I told that person that if he wouldn't mind looking up that bit of
scripture and telling me where it was, I'd make a public retraction
the next time I had my scope out in public. He said he'd look it up
and give me a call. I wonder how long he looked for it.

Any other subjects known to be better left not broached at public
viewings? Like, maybe mentioning the revelation that almost got
Galileo burned alive when he looked at Jupiter?
