Did I misread that? "Journal of Cosmetology"?
By the way, I am pretty sure I found evidence of extra-terrestrial life in
my 11 year old son's socks today. I ready to publish because, after the
socks, I'm ready to perish.

We need to be a little careful of the "Journal of Cosmology".

Although they claim to be peer-reviewed, as blogger PZ Meyers so eloquently
describes them:

-------
" It doesn't exist in print, consists entirely of a crude and ugly website
that looks like it was sucked through a wormhole from the 1990s, and
publishes lots of empty noise with no substantial editorial restraint. For a
while, it seemed to be entirely the domain of a crackpot named Rhawn Joseph
who called himself the emeritus professor of something mysteriously called
the Brain Research Laboratory, based in the general neighborhood of Northern
California (seriously, that was the address: "Northern California"), and
self-published all of his pseudo-scientific "publications" on this web
site."
--------

They've gotten whacked for "publishing" these claims before:

etc, so-on, ad-nauseam.

Give me a call when it appears in Science, Nature, Space Science Revue,
Astrophys, Astron_J Planetary and Space Sci, Advances in Space Research, ...
