Typical behavior.

They say something monumentally stupid, they get called on it, evidence to the contrary is presented, and they trot away 'for a month' to licik their wounds and work on their next bit of astronomical assininity.

What's next, OP?

Will the Moon be:

1) Cubical?
2) Only 50 miles above the Earth?
3) Attached to the Sun with suddenly-visible springs?
4) Only a projection originating from <drumroll> ATLANTIS????

Feel free to use any of the above. And don't forget to throw in the wisdom of the elders!
