    What will these scientists think of next? Teaching a telescope to read – that’s quite a feat.

    Incredible’s II is the longest CGI movie this year, but with better graphics constantly being developed soon enough you will see a 2 hr movie totally in CGI.

    “a mile away” – come on, only a mile away! How will Hubble ever find out what the Martians write about us?

    The Hubble thing reminds me about something I read years ago about owls.

    They say that an owl has eyesight good enough to read newspaper print from a mile away. Someone else said, I wonder where they found an owl that can read.
