Hello Friend,

I don't know what is going on.

   Must be "Let's pick on Neil Degrasse-Tyson" week, it seems.

Some Rapper by the name of B.o.B  (how come these guys never have normal names)  who happens to
believe that the earth is flat, has now come out swinging at Tyson with his latest  RAP "song".

Claims the round earth is all a nasa conspiracy.

(note: Maybe he has been watching the new X-files episodes and taken them to heart?)

   Now first of all, I will tell you up front I am not a fan of rap "music".

Half the time I can't even understand the so called  "lyrics"

But hey....if it's your thing, more power to you.

        Here is what B.o.B had to say via twitter regarding the his flat earth conspiracy:

"don't try to back me into the "conspiracy theorist" corner... don't be fooled. I speak from personal experience."

Tysons twitter response:

"Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music"

And so it goes.

Now I don't deal in conspiracy theories, just facts.

And here is a factoid that you can believe.

January 31st, this awesome telescope goes off sale.

PS What rapper  B.o.B needs is a good dose of the smoking man! 'Cos he is definitely smoking something!
