But seriously, a lot of Redditors are staunch supporters of space exploration (manned or otherwise). Do you support the Penny4NASA movement? http://www.penny4nasa.org/[1]

Where is corruption in Singapore. NO-where.

But the state is pretty nepotistic, no? The wife of the prime minister runs the state investment fund. What's the difference between corruption and nepotism?

Hey Prof. Filippenko! Thank you for everything you do. I had the privilege of taking your Astronomy 10 class. For a non-science major, it was so eye-opening.

I also want to (i) thank you again for giving a dinner talk at our fraternity on astronomy and (ii) apologize for the terrible meatloaf that we served you that night. Sorry about that.

Hi Paul,

I own too many pairs of your shoes :)

A question: My question is on the future use of technology at Allen Edmonds. While I know AE is very proud of its time-honored 212-step process, do you see new technologies playing a part of the Company's future? For example, advances in 3D scanning and printing could open the way for individualized lasts (like Brooks Brothers' MTM, but for shoes -- potentially at premium prices and profit margins) or better fit guidance (e.g. Customer X should wear a 11D in the 5-last, an 11.5C in the 1 last, should avoid the 800 last entirely, etc.).

A compliment: I'd like to call out the folks at the Jeffersonville store. They are absolutely fantastic to deal with, and have always gone above and beyond in my interactions with them.

A thinly veiled request, phrased as a question: any plans for more shoes on the 606 last? It's the best fitting last for me.

A thank you: Thanks for making shoes in weird sizes. I'm a 14.5B/14B on a Brannock, and you are one of the few companies left that caters to us folks.
