        @neiltyson I was at this rave in the 90's once. After drinking whatever kinda tea that was, I reflected on a doily for about 12 hours man.

        @neiltyson I'm learning to knit and you might as well ask me to spin a spider web. Doilies and lace are intricate!

        @neiltyson New show idea. The Doily Show with Jon Stewart. The doily globe would still spin the wrong way, though.
