Fact: Through simple brain power, I can will myself to have the same knowledge as an astroquark. People assume that telescopes are necessary to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos, false. I live on a farm and have seen three sheep work in formation to force a goat to eat the grass stuck on a pig's behind. Mystery unlocked, no telescope required. Though I did use night-vision goggles, skills I bring to my position as a volunteer sheriff's deputy on permanent leave. Which means all my sting operations are undercover because they are not unofficially sanctioned, even though I have been sanctioned. Top that, astroquarks. I started listening to Walkabout the Galaxy because I thought it was training for an Outback star-gazing hike in Australia where I planned to find workers to care for my sheep. But Walkabout the Galaxy is not about that. I'm not sure what it's about. Dwight Schrute, Australians wouldn't give a XXXX for anything else. (Castlemaine XXXX beer)
