The resulting image was scaled up in UF. Best if viewed larger. Inspired in part by the recent retirement of the Zeiss planetarium projector at UNC's Morehead Planetarium, where I studied astronomy as a child in the same facility where the NASA astronauts from projects Mercury, Gemini and Apollo came to study astral navigation prior to th...

According to one story, the lower-case "i" was meant to represent "intellectual". Banducci swore that it was literally Freudian and was short for "the hungry id". In another story, the sign was not finished in time for the club's opening, and next-day reviews in the Sa...
