10:45 AM -- Shades of the Cold War. Reuters reports on a new Russo-American scientific dispute:

A Russian astrologist who says NASA has altered her horoscope by crashing a spacecraft into a comet is suing the U.S. space agency for damages of $300 million...

"It is obvious that elements of the comet's orbit, and correspondingly the ephemeris, will change after the explosion, which interferes with my astrology work and distorts my horoscope," Izvestia daily quoted astrologist Marina Bai as saying in legal documents submitted before Monday's collision.

It's obvious! Jeez... Would she settle for a seat on the Kansas State School Board?
