You had to know that this year's top gift for science geeks would relate to what is arguably the top Web comic for science geeks:en-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/08/1703037.aspx#1703387Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:16:21 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1703387Andrew Meeusen, Mesa, ArizonaThanks a lot, Mr. Boyle! The contest was fun to participate in! Thanks to my friends who voted for my suggestion!http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/08/1703037.aspx#1703749Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:36:01 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1703749Camille, Tucson, AZHere's an idea for a gift for an astronomer--how about an astrology reading with Jeff Harman, who has a science background and used to own a recording studio and do forensic sound analysis.  A scientific mystic, Jeff is a true rennaissance man, just like the early astronomers. http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/08/1703037.aspx#1703769Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:10:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1703769GLENN GUILLORYOMG! What a revelation this is for me.  I'm 63 and was actually digging for a new and deeper conundrum to deal with, my "religious section" of my brain had just finished with shamadi in Zen and was getting bored trying to re-enter a certain denomination of religion (let's just hint and say "catechism") and I stumble onto xkcd thing for the first time!  I'm gonna junk all my philosophy and mysticism books and return to my true love, "Mr. Wizard"-like science study.  STAND BACK!   STAND BACK AND THANK YOU!!!
