FOX TELEVISION REALITY SHOW LOOKING FOR ASTRONOMERS

It's no joke. On December 9, AAS Electronic Announcement #144 was emailed out. Unfortunately it's not archived on the web though I'm holding onto a copy. The announcement had a table of contents with seven items:

---------------------------------------------------------
1. THE ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL EDITORIAL OFFICE MOVING TO
MADISON, WISCONSIN
2. AAS SAN DIEGO MEETING
3. 2005 MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
4. IMPRS PH.D. PROGRAM
5. 1.8-METER PERKINS TELESCOPE OBSERVING TIME
6. LARGE OBSERVING PROGRAMS ON THE ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN
TELESCOPE
7. RADIO & SUBMILLIMETER ASTRONOMY REVIEW BY AUI
---------------------------------------------------------
