A rabbit by any other name

Published under Weather, Wikipedia

As I was reading though my blogroll, I found this post by a very smart rodent. Eli has dumped one of the NASA freedom of information act (FOIA for those in the acronym game) requests in the memory hole. I’m sure it’s mentioned somewhere, but there should be a contest about which quote(s) will be taken out of context. My contribution:

I should have kept more data, but I was not interested in US data.

(I’ve only got through about 1/4 of it, so maybe they’ll be something “juicier” later.)

In other rabbit news, Eli references my “wiki work”: “Here is a short derivation of the adiabatic lapse rate.”<ref>[1]<ref /> which isn’t so much writing as fixing, as the previous version was _________ (not sure of the right word, “bad” comes to mind but isn’t quite right).
