I <3 XKCD
I love it when XKCD makes me go learn something new. Today's hover-text mentioned the Kepler mission, so I went to the interwebz to learn about it.
After posting a status about it to FaceBook one of my friends from work pops up with the fact that his wife works with one of the astronomers who developed the Kepler mission.
