when it was my round for drinks, i went up to the bar with one of these friends so we could decide what kind of beer we wanted. while in the queue, i thought maybe i recognized the silhouette of someone there. sure enough, despite the hundreds of bars in sydney, there were a few astronomers at the pub who happened to be attending a conference in sydney that week.
i walked up, tapped an astronomer friend on the shoulder, and when he turned around i happily pointed out that he was also wearing a star wars t-shirt :)
i'm not sure if that actually helped my case, but i felt somehow vindicated!

I often feel that way with the small coincidences that validate some quirk or odd position that I may have taken...
Pixie, I have always wondered if you root for Ohio State football... an older cousin played for the Buckeyes and my allegiance when south down 75 with him... they lost a hard fought game in Ann Arbor... but it was very exciting and entertaining...
Two astronomers walk into a bar..
The third one ducks :)
mark - i dont really follow the sport at all. but if i had to choose, i guess it would be O-H-I-O!
