| #13 Story's a favorite over here at the other end of the practicality and numeracy scales, too. Thirty years later, maybe more, and I remember it more vividly than most of what I've read this month. Also... Of emails a mountainous clump (nine billion!) were dumped by some shlump. The last one was wiped, And Hill diapered and hyped, When from heaven resounded a trump. Like, at eleven. |

| #9 the event happened 22 millions ago, Millions, billions, whatever. Gentlemen, let's not quibble over a couple of zeros. Also, does that take daylight savings time into account? As for "The 9 Billion Names of God", eerie indeed. Totally freaked me out as a kid. |

| #8 Airandee, this star is 22 million light years away, thus the event happened 22 millions ago, not billions as you stated. |

| #3 So, the Hubble continues to be the B-52 of orbiting telescopes while the James Webb ST still isn't even scheduled for launch. Swell work there, guys... |

| #1 Whoa! I wanna see the film! I'm interested in seeing (if we can detect it) any "bounce back" effect. (Should be a quick series of flashes before fading away.) |
