How many stars are in the solar system?

It goes back to the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz, after he got his diploma. “The sum of the
square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the
remaining side.” Ha. Say it fast enough, and you look smart!

My favorite Arthur C. Clarke work is “Fountains of Paradise”. He did some great engineering/scientific research about a space elevator that made the book very interesting.

lol You can’t get more New Moon than an eclipse!

Noah’s flood was about 20,000 years ago.

This genius knows...

In OUR solar system? One. That big bright ball that rarely illuminates the Minnesota sky in daytime.

Shirley Neil misspoke, right?

It’s just a meme, I just don’t like the guy and find that graphic hilarious.

And one tried to convince me that the sun revolves around the earth. She started to get angry when I kept disagreeing with her and she told me that just because that’s what science says doesn’t mean it’s true.

A lot of FReepers tell me that "just because that’s what science says doesn’t mean it’s true." (Sometimes they're even right.)

I think it all started when Han Solo said he could make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs

I was 8 when it came out. I didn't know a parsec from a parsnip. However, when I watched it after growing up, yeah, it stood out.

Given the nature of the “Kessel Run,” it actually makes sense. However, I’ve no doubt that’s an Expanded Universe alteration in order to save Lucas from himself.

Was WWI before or after WWII?

[Hoodat]

Omg, is that for real?

[DManA]

I wouldn’t be too scared. It’s a trick question. Designed to exploit the nature of the human brain.

According to Al Gore, “the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees…”, so that makes Earth the second star in our solar system.

Nice, a fellow Star Wars nerd on FR. Was scrolling down specifically to see if anyone would dispute that.

[mlo]

Just read some of the science threads on FR! :-)

My flip, off-the-cuff reply was "millions". Then I re-read what you were asking. "One", of course.

I could easily see myself answering "9", until I realized what the question actually was.

[Chances Are]

Close only counts in...

CA....
