That was my first thought when I read the title of this post, “Canadian fireball was NOT the ISS toolbag” at Bad Astronomy. My brain wasn’t even considering the lack of comma after “ISS” meant that he was not insulting someone. At first, I thought someone made a blog post somewhere that the fireball seen over western Canada last week was the ISS itself, and Phil called him/her a toolbag. In fact, it was a comment about it possibly being the ISS toolbag that was lost during a spacewalk to service the station. I wanted to see who the toolbag was, though.

Did Phil Plait just call someone a toolbag?
