<o:p></o:p>
One Sunday, many “moons” ago, Mrs God say’s to Mr God – “Dear, I feel like eggs for breakfast”.
So of goes Mr God out into the bush in search of a couple of Emu eggs (like, the ‘Gods’ are Australian – right?)
He gets lucky and off he goes back to the kitchen with his Emu eggs.
“How am I going to cook these” he thinks to himself.
Brainwave! – just wrap em in some foil and put em in the microwave he reckons.
Ah! – so here comes the bit that interests us astronomers.
We all know what happens – right!
Foil in the microwave – ****** “Big Bang”.
So I reckon, all we can see up there with our scopes is all that egg floating around in the microwave.
Wadda ya reckon?

On a more Sirius note.
I think all astronomers should form a group with a more “Evangelistic” approach, and start recruiting as many people as we can to look to the heavens and try and solve its many mysteries.
When we can no longer fit them and their telescopes in our backyards, (and with all the donations we can ring out of them), I know where we can get a lot of buildings we can readily convert into Observatories.
