Only if you have the time ...
I have found one of the funniest things I have ever read on the internet today.
Of course I only say that because I think that it sounds exactly like something
that I would write myself ... So What! I AM conceited! ( for what reason I don't
know, but that should not convince me to hide my character flaw - maybe even a
cardinal sin (?). Must I dig out the old bible I put on the shelf -- or would that
be Dante's Inferno that enumerates the cardinal sins? Obviously, I have more questions
than answers). Anyway ... while perusing the Hufffinton "blog" website I found a link
about the discovery of a new planet ... 9000 light-years away ... than I read the funny
post reply (last reply in reponse to the first)... see for yourself ... I am still laughing: You probably won't even have
a short, sharp exhale; To each his own.
"Super-Earth" Found Orbiting Star 9,000 Light-Years Away...
Reuters | Posted March 13, 2006 09:46 PM
A cold, heavy "super-Earth" has been found orbiting a distant star, using a method that holds promise for detecting faraway planets that closely resemble our own, astronomers said on Monday.
The planet weighs 13 times as much as Earth and is orbiting a star about 9,000 light-years away. But instead of circling close to its star, as Earth does, this "super-Earth" is about as distant from its star as Jupiter and Saturn are from the Sun.

I propose that it be named Ronald Reagan in honor of the greatest American President who the world owes a debt of honor for single handedly defeating communism.

I propose that Ronald Reagan be dug up and paraded around New Orleans like a puppet on a stick, then set aflame by a survivor of the Iran hostage crisis.
But seriously: This new planet could have oil...and it MAY be developing nukes. So I propose we float a UN resolution to authorize military attack. Then, when the resolution fails, we should attack anyway. Us...or Israel.
New planets are scary.
