That certainly is an exaggeration; since the TRUTH about astrology is
that it's a bunch of nonsense, and Astronomy magazine doubtless
reaffirmed that...

for that matter, the latest issue of National Geographic magazine has,
on its cover, "Was Darwin Wrong?"... but they answer with a resounding
"No" on the inside.

But then, National Geographic *did* publish a swimsuit issue last
year...

I missed that. Was it swimsuits on Eskimows? Pretty funny. Personally
I think this commercialistic crap has gone far enough. What's next. Swim
suits on dogs? It would sell@ Im beginning to believe Osama is right~!






Sober respectability just isn't what it used to be, I guess.

Still, though, while the National Enquirer doesn't own Astronomy
magazine, it _is_ owned by the same company that publishes _Model
Railroader_ - Kalmbach.
