Though I did see "The Day After Tomorrow" with Rena, who was getting her MS in Meteoritics at the time. We saw it to mock it, and she facepalmed her way through the bad science more than once.<br /><br />And congratulations on getting published in Turkish! Must be pretty incredible to know even more people can read your work. ^_^Mason T.
