Space Forum / Astronomy / January 2007An Unusaul Astronomer
One of the most successful astronomers, Milton Humason, was best known for measuring the speed at which stars are moving away from each other. He was never formally trained as an astronomer. He was a donkey driver who used to stop by the Mount Wilson observatory in California on his journeys. He was curious, and since the astronomers there realized he had a lively mind, they were happy to answer his questions. Eventually, they gave him a job. - from www.odd-info.com nightbat wrote > One of the most successful astronomers, Milton Humason, was best known > for measuring the speed at which stars are moving away from each other.

Tesla was at one time a phone line repairman and a ditch digger, Edison a train and signal watchmen, Ben Franklin's own written published diary is amazing, Einstein a 2nd class Patent clerk, Columbus who disproved the flat Earth and discoverer of the New World placed in chains, Pasteur originally thought insane because he advocated all to wash their hands because of invisible germs, the Wright Bros. who proved man made flight were bicycle salesmen, Oc science Space Flow model relayed for Wolter who was a donut maker, Double-A once an out of work computer engineer now Chief Science Engineering Officer and Colonel of all Sean Earth Federation Science Officers, Bohne business man about town net science helping all now second in Command, Wernher von Braun once a toy rocket model maker successful 1st mission to land a man on the Moon and safely bring him back. The list goes on and on, and even the Captain nightbat once sold in Dallas Texas " Little Pigs In A Basket " burgers. Yet I also rose to US and Foreign Patents holder, multi honorary awards, multi practical devices including life saving inventions, 1st life micro candidate, and cold energy discoverer, Who's Who in science, and Commanding General of the entire profound Earth Science Team Officers, including Earth Diplomat and Team Leader honorary hopeful Earth welcoming of 1st Official Contact advanced net Sean Race. " Never judge a book by its cover." " When in doubt better to remain silent then opening your mouth and confirming your stupidity." " If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be called research would it?" ponder on, the nightbat > nightbat wrote > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > ponder on, > the nightbat And some never rise above the rank of coffee boy.

Why Darla asked us to go easy on them must be purely for Seanitarian reasons. The advanced Sean mental IQ reformation chambers must be what they have planned for these clueless coffeeboy wonders. And for all we know the way the fake Art Decos have been net popping up all over the Grays might have grabbed the real one and they have been bird brain like cloning him just to get back at us, oh the humanity! carry on, the nightbat > And some never rise above the rank of coffee boy. > > Double-A The thing is, you haven't read any more about Humason. He got where he was as an astronomer by hard work, not by sitting on some usenet newsgroup playing space cadets...

Pipe down quacky we know you have a thing for all the profound Earth Science Team Members, stick with your friend Bart Devo for less stress in your fun bird life. nightbat Correct Commander and sounds like you struck a nerve for with much power comes much responsibility. The coffee boys may never rise above but their planned duty coffee serving duties onboard the Sean Starships will hopefully help keep them out of trouble. carry on, the nightbat > Pipe down quacky we know you have a thing for all the profound > Earth Science Team Members, stick with your friend Bart Devo for less > stress in your fun bird life. Oh Darla's abandoned you frooty. She's currently undergoing ECT for her delusions. > nightbat > > Correct Commander and sounds like you struck a nerve for with > much power comes much responsibility.

You really ought to take your meds more. SignatureSaucerhead lingo #2102 "However, since PTP is in reality NOT a budding astrophysicist..." ...
