Ugh

I have some kind of cold/creeping crud. It's taken me three hours to get to the point where my throat only hurts when I swallow and I can mostly breathe. I think I'll just go to the office long enough to get my laptop and notes out of my office and then do some work from my couch. I want to get everything debugged over the weekend so I can spend next week deciding what I'm going to be talking about at DDA this May. Abstracts are due in a week.

In between noticing that there are Famous People speaking on Saturday as a memorial for Ed Salpeter. (Kip Thorne, Freeman Dyson and Lars Bildsten.)

Hey, kids...

It's a science quiz!

• How long does it take the Earth to orbit the Sun?
  
• About how much of the Earth's surface is covered in water?
  
• Which came first -- the extinction of the dinosaurs* or the first humans?
  
• Bonus question: About how much of the Earth's water* is fresh water? That includes frozen fresh water?
