[Magdalen] Philae has landed!

[Jay Weigel]

Basically that's why I didn't become an astronomer....too damn much math.
OTOH, if I'd had decent math teachers in high school, I might have
continued, but my algebra teacher freshman year would bore the [essentials]
off a brass monkey, and my geometry teacher the next year couldn't teach a
two year old to open and close a door....so I couldn't wait to get out of
there.
