- TurtlesInTime, on 09/19/2009, -0/+1Narrator: From the outermost ridges of the universe, to the innermost planets of our solar system this is 'Space the Infinite Frontier' with your host Chicago Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray.
Harry Caray: Hi everybody, Harry Caray here and welcome to "Space the Infinite Frontier". We've got a great show lined up for you, joining us in the studio today all the way from Caltech is astrophysicist Dr. Ken Waller. Welcome to the show Ken. Now Dr., recently they have discovered that there might be life on one of the moons of Jupiter, now that's got to be exciting for you.
Ken Waller: Oh yeah Harry, we're thrilled to discover that life can theoretically exist below the surface of planets due to the heat caused by volcanic activity.
Harry Caray: That's something else. Hey! Let me ask you, what's your favorite planet?
Ken Waller: Well, I don't have a favorite I find them all fascinating, they're all part of a
[is interrupted]
Harry Caray: Mine's the sun. Always has been. I like it cause its like the King of Planets.
Ken Waller: Well, actually Harry, it's not a planet, it's a star.
Harry Caray: Well, planet or star when that thing burns out we're all going to be dead.
Ken Waller: Well that's true but its not going to burn out for a very long time.
Harry Caray: I hope not. Hey! Dr. have you ever seen an eclipse?
Ken Waller: Yeah. I've seen many.
Harry Caray: You know if you star at it head on it'll burn your eyes out.
Ken Waller: Well its not best to stare at the sun during an eclipse.
Harry Caray: But it's hard not to. I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour.
Ken Waller: Why would you do that?
Harry Caray: Curiosity I guess. Heck! I'm curious like a cat. I have a couple of friends that call me whiskers.
Ken Waller: Because you're curious like a cat?
Harry Caray: Yes
[pause]
Harry Caray: Hey! Now Ken, we all know that the moon is not made of green cheese.
Ken Waller: Yes, that's true Harry.
Harry Caray: But what if it were made of barbeque spare ribs, would you eat it then?
Ken Waller: What?
Harry Caray: I know I would. Heck! I'd have seconds and then polish it off with a tall cool Budweiser. - - - I would do it. Would you?
Ken Waller: I'm confused.
Harry Caray: It's a simple question Dr, would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?
Ken Waller: I don't know how to answer that.
Harry Caray: It's not rocket science, just say yes and we'll move on.
Ken Waller: Yes.
Harry Caray: Hey! How about this mad cow disease?
Ken Waller: What about it?
Harry Caray: Well, it was here for a while and then it went away. Your thoughts.
Ken Waller: Yes, yes it was in the news for a while and then it disappeared from the news.
Harry Caray: Good point. Gee I hope I never get it. Hey! What about this: if you had to choose between being the top scientist in your field or getting mad cow disease, what would it be?
Ken Waller: Well of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field.
Harry Caray: Oh good. I was worried you'd choose mad cow.
Ken Waller: Why would you think that?
Harry Caray: I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers.
Ken Waller: I thought you said your friends call you whiskers cause you were curious as a cat.
Harry Caray: Well Dr. Waller it has been a pleasure. We've covered a lot of ground, shared a few laughs, thanks for coming on.
Ken Waller: My pleasure Harry.
Harry Caray: He's a good kid. That's all the time we have. Join us next week with our guest Albert Einstein. What? Well apparently Albert Einstein died 42 years ago. You know what, we'll try to get him anyway. See you next time. Cubs win! Cubs win! - TurtlesInTime, on 09/19/2009, -0/+0I couldn't pick a favorite quote.

http://digg.com/odd_stuff/15_Year_Old_Boy_Who_Crie ... - inactive, on 09/18/2009, -4/+1This kind of stuff really reminds you of how beautiful and complex the universe is. How the Divine Creator bestowed everything throughout the Cosmos with His light and grace and magnificence. It's simply puts you in awe and let's you know that there is a meaning. The complexity leaves no doubt about that. How else could so much greatness and beauty be created??
...
Oh, yeah. Random particles, atoms, and molecules flying about.
My bad!
