    Greatest Female Comedienne of All Time

    As far as female stand-up comedy goes, Morgan Murphy is one of the funniest in my opinion. Edit - Between Burnette and Ball, I'd go with Lucille Ball all the way. Comedic television and stand-up comedy are, to me, night and day so when someone is referred to as simply a "comedian" I...

    What are the Benefits of Planning a Winter Trip to California?

    This makes me realize that I should have planned my west coast trip for winter, rather than wasting it in June. Although, I suppose I'd probably find it depressing to go from 80 degree weather back to -20 degrees.

    What Makes a Good Starter Telescope for a College Astronomy Student?

    I'm off to college next fall (possibly delaying another year depending on costs) to study Astronomy and would like to buy a telescope to start familiarizing myself with the night sky (and just generally stargazing, which I enjoy).

    Understanding Time Dilation and Light Sources in Relation to Mass

    Is that right? I thought one of the core ideas behind relativity was the constancy of the speed of light, meaning that no matter where you are at in the universe, you would always measure the speed of light (in a vacuum) to be 3x10^8 meters/second. Is there something I've misunderstood?
