Well... "Okefenokee" is almost "Ophiuchi" (oh'-fee-yu-kee)
(both are swamps teaming with Artificial life)

... and "Pogo" is almost "Pluto"

Another Canadian rises to the fore at APOD. Up here in Canada we're thinking of changing our national flag colours to red and green instead of the current red and white.

I had a great night's sleep and awoke in a world of bliss where I forgot the existence of the beeping irritant. The post above was the expression of my disappointment when I was rudely divested of my illusion. Sorry for getting so emotional. Apparently every great institution needs a comic villain.
