Over the course of a year the forelegs sometimes went the wrong way -- as if the stars had stopped obeying the rules of astronomy... This table, she said in an interview, it not made up of casual observations of the Big Dipper but "looks more like a record of it."

Joshua did it! The Egyptions recorded the dipper going backwards when God made the sun stand still for Joshua to finish the battle; and again when God "made the shadow go back" on Hezikiah's sun dial.

Okay; I doubt the Egyptians were recording thrice nightly observations of Karl's Wain that many centuries, but maybe I should just silently forward this to that Creationist museum or theme park or whatever it is, then sit back nice & comfy while the corn pops.
