A FOOTNOTE IN HISTORY — by Steve Nadis
I like writing funny footnotes when I can get away with it, but since they are just footnotes few people notice them. But online I recently found someone who wrote–“My favorite footnotes of all time, found!”–citing my 2006 article, “Deconstructing Astronomy’s Holy Grail.” I won’t repeat all the footnotes singled out by this individual but will mention one I wrote that I am fond of: “I can’t cite any official ‘source’ for this statement, but trust me, it’s true.”
As a matter of fact, I think that same statement applies to most of the things I put in this blog.

Often in deconstruction the footnotes play a larger role than the articles, as seems to have been the case with your postmodern excursus.
Nicely spun, GM. I especially like the part about “excursus.” –S
