Daddy’s Little Monster
A moment in time:
The Kid playing Tony Hawk’s Underground while Dad builds his 1970 Topps Baseball set. Social Distortion comes on, “Mommy’s Little Monster” and both sing along.

Evolution Resources
The AAAS has resources supporting Evolution and its defense against Intelligent Design. It’s nice to have a cache of intellectual ammo nearby when you find yourself ambushed by ID’ers and Creationists. Stop by the AAAS and get “locked and loaded”. Thanks to Aetiology.
Black & White or color: The Cosmos and Human Sight
Last night I read an article in the April edition of Discover Magazine (sorry, can’t link to it - they still have the March issue up as current) that said that due to the physiology of the eye, humans cannot see color in dim light.
Which made me wonder: What does Space look like to astronauts?
Do they see white dots salted across the blackness of space, or do they discern any color to it at all?
If the latter, I’d be bummed. Considering how wide the spectrum of light is, and our limits to a small sliver of that spectrum, I’d say we got a raw deal.
Anyone know? Just wondering…
