How much does Nancy beleive in this Planet X tomfoolery, that even in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, she still has the gall to dispute it?
Her ruthlessness (for lack of a better word) about this just confounds me to no end. Could someone please break it down for me in a language I understand (preferably science)?

There is no logic in this. She either (1) knows that PX is not there and doesn't care because she can keep herself in the spotlight or (2) really believes in PX and is knitting with only one needle. In either case I believe the best scientific assessment of Nancy's situation was provided by WolfKC .

You see, since the fiirst time I heard about Nancy and PX, all I've wanted to do is understand. It just makes no sense to me, but hey, that pic is great.
I'm leaning toward your latter explanation, by the way. She's not exactly the swifteset fish in the stream.

Ad Hoc, my dear friend. Here's a lovely little qoute from my philosophy of science book that I found hilarious and also reminded me of Nancy.
[/i]The Astronomer Francesco Sizi offered the following argument to show why, contrary to what his contemporary, Galileo, claimed to have seen through his telescope, there could be no satellites circling around Jupiter:
There are seven windows in the head, two nostrils, two ears, two
eyes and a mouth; so in the heavens there are two favorable
stars, two unpropitious, two luminaries, and Mercury alone
undecided and indifferent. From which and many other similar
phenomena of nature such as the seven metals, etc., which it were
tedious to enumerate, we gather that the number of planets is
necessarily seven...Moreover, the satellites are invisible to the
naked eye and therefore can have no influence on the earth and
therefore would be useless and therefore do not exist.

I'd dearly love to help, but the techies from IT haven't returned my calls yet. We upgraded machines and OS's here recently, and when installing XP and Office, they forgot to install the "Schizoid" keyboard option. The translation will have to wait until this translation option is installed. "Thank you for calling the major midwestern college of higher knowledge computer help line." [click]

sorry...for not including this before. Thought I'd post it as an afterthought rather than lose the cascade...
