Astronomy / Astrology
BBC1 just now: "This is an amateur astrologer's telescope".
No. No it's not. It's not and it's not and it's not. It's not. I'm extremely skeptical that astrologers have ever used telescopes.
Astrology = system of divination that uses the position of the planets, moon and sun in the twelve Zodiac positions at the moment of one's birth to gain knowledge of the future; bullshit
Astronomy = the study of celestial bodies and the universe as a whole; wonderful
'course, I can see how people mix up the words, which is probably what happened. There must be a clever way of remembering, like stationery / stationary's 'e for envelopes'.
Hmmm. All I can come up with is:
Astrology has 'log' in it. Logs are brown, and so is shit.
Well, it works for remembering which colour a plug's live wire is...You think that'd make it into textbooks?
Update:
Other suggestions:
L for Lies (by Ed)
L for Libra
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:
Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?

Nice. How about ‘L for Libra’, since there aren’t any signs beginning with M or N.
