Those look like they be fantastic. It's making me want to revisit the idea of taking a glass blowing class! There's a studio not too far from me.

Check out Neil Degrasse-Tyson on the new Cosmos with Bill Moyers. Really interesting, even at 5:00 a.m. which is when I saw it.

That is awesome! There has been such a huge swing over the last couple of decades between Big Bang and Steady State, debates that got pretty heated :o :D

Go Big Bang Theory! Steady State - you suck :lol:
