Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...
in the part describing the practical astronomy
exam, the Hogswarts students go up to the tower at 11PM
and have to complete a star chart with data. One of these
data is the position of Venus! (pp718-719)
Now I don't think Venus is visible anywhere at 11 PM
in early June
'Least you got your "I don't think" part right, Einstein.
I realize that the majority of those frequenting saa are
suffering from CDD (i.e. comprehension-deficit disorder),
but such unrestrained ignorance of fundamental astronomy
in a newsgroup that is allegedly intended to attract any
amateur astronomers to engage in substantive discussions
about the subject betrays such horrendous degradation in
the state of academia as to make universities a laughing-
stock--that is, if it were at all funny, which it is not.
Just for the record (for those who care about astronomy),
the maximum elongation for Venus never exceeds more than
about 47 degrees or a little over semisquare. Summertime
or Daylight Savings superficially adds an hour such that
sunset at Greenwich Observatory near the summer solstice
occurs past 10:20 PM GDT (21:20 UT 51N28 0E00). Venus at
maximum superior elongation would set about 11:45 - 12am;
That's 45 min. to an hour AFTER 11pm "rocket scientists"!
^^^^^
As for Rowling's unrivaled contributions to the literary
world, promoting the occult, encouraging new generations
to learn about astronomy & astrology & mythology & tarot
& alchemy & magic & all manner of supernatural dexterity,
literacy and freedom of imagination within the framework
of proper education--and probably contributing much more
than anyone else in the world since Cayce died,--Rowling
deserves to be the richest person on Earth 10 times over.
Poor universities, all their $$ is going to J.K. Rowling!
She's helped to nurture billions of avid occult devotees
who will see right through the hopelessly-defunct layman
balderdash of $$ academia. Say goodbye to liars & quacks,
and welcome whole new generations of teachers & students
of the occult sciences who love creation and its creator.

done much to advance the learning of animal language.

It figures that someone as apparently insane as Dannyboi is
can't figure out that the HP books are *works of fiction*
intended as *entertainment*.

Bad-asstromony and Sherlock Holmes
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they
lay down for the night,Holmes said: "Watson, look up into the
sky and tell me what you see."
Watson said: "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"
Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are million of
galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically it
tells me that God is great and that we are small and
insignificant. Meteorologically it tells me that we will have a
beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell you?"
Holmes: "Somebody stole our tent."
