it looks to me like you have competing streets: 150th ST and 87th RD. I think it would have to be one or the other.

Oh DUH. Yes, I should have noticed that!

Trust my rage
See, that's what I thought too. Google seems to think that means they live at 89-48 150th Street which is on 150th street right near 89th Avenue (not Road).
I thought maybe all NY addresses are weird and i just never knew it.

Argh.
I like the History Channel. But right now, God help me, I'm watching this thing on "Ancient Astronauts" featuring, of course, Erich "Occam Who?" von Daniken. Right now they're talking about the Antikythera Mechanism which, you know, is pretty awesome considering. But some bozo fucktard "respected scientist" just, no shit, espoused the theory that not only was this cool mysterious, but totally within the limits of human technology mechanism handed to us by Ancient Astronauts (Really? "Hey, we just came across light years in this fucking astounding spaceship and we would like to advance you little ape-men technologically. Behold our other-worldly gift: Gears!" "Ooooohhh....") but that its purpose was astrological predictions. Not "Mars will be such and so on April 4th" but "Pisces: Today is a good day to look at business prospects. A friendship is in peril because you keep talking about specious predictions handed to you by newspaper hacks and, possibly, ancient boxes full of gears."
How did these people get out of college? Seriously.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh -- weird, but not that weird!

MM, there's a reason their new tagline is "We Make History." Making shit up is so much cheaper than the alternative!
(Except I'm pretty sure the Ancient Astronaut show is bought-in from the BBC, which means I get to be embarrassed about it twice.)

Oh wait - Horizon: Case of the Ancient Astronauts was from 1977. So it's probably a new show cut from most of the same footage with new pseudoscientist interviews.

I think what really galls me about most of these ancient astronaut wackjobs (aside from the fact that they get paid to be fucking retarded, while I do it for free) is the continuing refrain of "...and humans just couldn't have done that!"
Stonehenge: Rocks were moved miles! Big rocks! Miles! "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
Mayan calendars: Advanced. Highly mathematical. "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
Positing that the sun was the center of the solar system before Copernicus: "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
Gears in a box: "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
These people sit in front of cameras that reproduce their image and those images are recorded for active replay of their every motion and word later on and those replays will be broadcast through the air or over fiber-optic or coaxial cable to televisions all over the globe or into computers that are linked into the greatest communication tool ever conceived and tell me that our ancestors could NOT have figured out where the sun is or how to make clockwork or how to move rocks.
How am I typing this into a sophisticated multi-tasking computational device run on magic wall-lightning and sending it to you all if my ancestors were, evidently, functionally lobotomized ape-men peeing into their mouths all the time?
Oh, right! ALIENS GAVE US THE INTERNET!

Oh go on - humans moving rocks? Without alien intervention?? Next you'll be telling me we invented the wheel and discovered fire!
