Nah... I was referring to the PS3 sitting next to the "HOT" headers at the left of Mike's mugshot.

I actually saw that in the magazine and mentioned it to my wife...I got sidetracked with work and did not get it posted myself...

All publicity is good...and the best part is it only uses 3 of your 15 minutes of fame so we can still expect more from you in the future!

Cheers,

Run!?! I don't do more than a fast stroll nowadays.
He'd be able to roll that stone and knock me down like a bowling pin.
Lucky I live miles and miles and miles away.

Ah love you guys

asdjvfjkdf83t5mj35890klebngu8o35otu 5h90...Oooh that was pretty weird huh? Ah, so it's true

Just for the record that photo was from mid 2005 in the twilight of my strength career and just about my last outing, I was really starting to get out'a shape by then and even though it sounds like a lot 153kg used to be a ping pong ball really pre 2002 ...now I am a mere..... nerdy blob?

Oh well, lots of staring at a computer screen, both in my study and out in the field by the scope, and no exercise will do that...doh!

Weird Mike

Ha weirdmanmike!

I thought your caption was the one that says 'Hey good looking!' for a moment. At least you aren't in the predictable catagory or the NOT as an 'astronomical increase'!

Kerrie

Er, at the risk of being pelted, isn't it obvious that astronomers are by their very nature "weird". I mean, who in their right mind is out after dark on the coldest nights carrying around huge metal tubes just so they can peer at faint pin-pricks of light?
So, ipso facto, based on the principle that two negatives make a positive, isn't a "weird" astronomer someone who is more likely to be closer to normal?
Or is that just too weird?

Seeing that picture of Mike I kept getting the weird al Yankovic song Living With a Hernia (parody of Living in America by James Brown) running through my head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpyoxEYa5mE

Too much back pain
Good gawd, drives me insane
Can't run, barely crawl
Got a bulge in my intestinal wall
Walk real funny, bless my soul
Can't play tennis and it's hard to bowl
You can't even do the splits now... Say it!
Better call it quits now
Now I'm sick of all this dancin' anyhow

Living with a hernia
Hurts me bad in a tender location
Living with a hernia
Had enough humiliation
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation

In my case - both. She of the boney bottom is now well padded while my manly chest has moved south.
