“Since the day we discovered Xena, the big question has been whether or not it has a moon,” says Professor Michael Brown, of the California Institute of Technology .

“Having a moon is just inherently cool. And it is something that most self-respecting planets have, so it is good to see that this one does too.”

Rofl.

The council took my car away.

I have a funny story for you courtesy of my lovely housemate Andrew.

The council took my car away says:
here goes
The council took my car away says:
coming home this arvo my friend and I were sitting on the bus just talking and mucking around - being weird as usual. Then the bus pulls over at one of hte stops and this rather large woman (rather unattractive too, i.e moustache) comes right down the back to where we are and sits behind my friend
Jessica says:
hah moustache.
The council took my car away says:
basically it went me sitting 3rd from back, friend sitting 2nd from back, and lady sitting at very back. Now my friend couldn’t see but as we were talking the lady takes off her top, to which I can now visibly see that she is not wearing a bra, wipes through her fat rolls, turns her top inside out, and puts it back on again.
The council took my car away says:
I turned and look out across the aisle through the other window with a look of abject terror on my face. My friend had no idea what was happening, but he’d said something weird so he assumed that was my reaction to it and was laughing at me.
The council took my car away says:
I eventually recovered, and went back to talking, and in the middle of our conversation, the woman leans forward slightly and cuts off my friend in mid sentence with the statement, “The Council took my car away”
The council took my car away says:
my friend and I were like WTF? then she proceeeds to say, “Yeah, apparently they do that now” My friend and I just nodded and said ahuh. Then the bus pulls over at a stop, she smirks at me, then walks off the bus leaving my friend and I in a state of bewilderment.

I have permission, fages.

Jessica says:
Can i put that on my blog?
The council took my car away says:
Yup :P
The council took my car away says:
But I have copyrights to “The council took my car away”

Jupiter

My favourite post from the entire thread was made by Cannibal.

I’ve always been frightened by Jupiter, and most big ass space things as well. It’s a weird lovecraftian thing I suppose. I can get freaked out by clouds as well if I think about it. Something the size of mountains that moves faster than a human can run, that form and shift all day long, there’s just something immense and scary about it.

and when I think about Jupiter…. a planet massively larger than our own planet, with no stable solid ground til you get near the very core. Surrounding by millions of Earth sized gobs of poisonous gas, that are in constant motion. Just thinking of the red spot. A place 3 times the size of our own planet that Homo Sapiens have had a culture on for less than 80,000 years. There’s a place, not that far away, that you could get to in a matter of years, there’s a place, where a storm has been constantly churning, 3 times larger than our planet, for much longer than we’ve even been a coherent civilization…

something about that just isn’t right, and makes you not want to fuck with nature. That something so terrible exists, that has already lived longer than humans will ever hope to endure.

Edit: So, his facts are a little off. He still makes a great point though. As much as I hate to throw around cliches, it put things in perspective.
