Yes, I know you hate hearing from me twice in one day.
However, I made TWO stupid errors on the quiz that I need to acknowledge.

From now on, I promise to not to try to compose my Nobel Prize acceptance
speech at the same time I'm writing a quiz.

First stupid error:
Tycho Brahe was a DANISH astronomer, not Dutch.
I assert that I did know that...

Second stupid error:
The three belt stars in Orion are Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak.  Mintaka is
not in the belt twice, although that would be fantastic.

Now the day is becoming depressing.
