Update: Dale Earnhardt, the world-famous and legendary NASCAR racer, has died due to injuries he recieved when he crashed into a wall at the Daytona 500. It was on the last lap, and he was in 3rd place when it happened. It is such a sad sad day for racing fans everywhere.

Remember that Fox Moon Hoax special I was talking about a few days ago? Well NASA has responded on their website. They include a link to a site that addresses each point that Fox made and then corrects the bad science that Fox used. Once again, bad science is being taken as the truth by couch potatoes who believe that if it's on TV, it must be true. They are probally also the same kind of people who believe they will get a million dollars if they forward an email 50 times. Anyways, that BadAstronomy.com site is pretty cool, as it talks about the mistakes made in movies and on TV about astronomy. I even learned some stuff from it, like how breaking up a comet does not help matters any if it was crashing into the earth, since all that kinetic energy from the comet is still hitting the earth. Very very cool site.

For all the Nintendorks that visit this site, Brandon has posted to a message board about why nitnendorks.com has been down for the past month(s). While they were down reorganizing the site, they couldn't make enough money from banner ads, and so IGN hasn't paid them, so now they can't pay for their server bill. Jon is scrapping up money, but it'll be at least another month before they are back online. I miss you Nintendorks!!!

Supposedly there is a 3rd Mix DDR machine in some arcade at Orlando. I might try and check it out tomorrow since there is no school. I can't wait to play Dam Dariam or Butterfly Upswing Mix.
