Maybe he'll play a song about maggots. Hmmm. A friend got me and my kid memberships to Kidspace, the "children's museum" by the Rose Bowl. It's really cool, actually, very bug-centric and perfect for the girls (favorite activity: The Anthole). Anyways, last time we went there was a music festival featuring, among other acts, Meredith Brooks (?) doing kids' songs, while at the same time we bought caterpillars. The caterpillars are now munching yellow nutrient mush and spinning webs in preparation for turning into butterflies, which we will take back to Kidspace for a mass "release festival". Anyhow, if they could just combine the two festivals, maybe they could book Robyn. The kids would love that... - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2006 09:07:45 -0400 From: "Stewart C.

I thought Chris Gross would appreaciate this. Inexplicable path On Dec. 13, another group said they'd found an object half the mass of Pluto orbiting twice as far from the Sun as Neptune. The object's path has them puzzled. The faraway world is catalogued as 2004 XR 190 and known temporarily as Buffy. It was discovered as part of the Legacy Survey on the Canada France Hawaii Telescope. "It was quite bright compared to the usual Kuiper Belt Objects we find," said the University of British Columbia's Lynne Allen, who was part of the international discovery team. "But what was more interesting was how far away it was."
