BTW, have you ever noticed that scientific cranks seem to have a disproportionate affinity for animal mascots? What does Plato the Platy have to say about this?
All guilty FREEPERS please report yourselves on this thread NOW.....
Every one who has had the misfortune to talk with people in the heart or on the edge of mental disorder, knows that their most sinister quality is a horrible clarity of detail; a connecting of one thing with another in a map more elaborate than a maze. If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment. He is not hampered by a sense of humour or by charity, or by the dumb certainties of experience. He is the more logical for losing certain sane affections. Indeed, the common phrase for insanity is in this respect a misleading one. The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason.-- Orthodoxy.

I am, rather, the VICTIM OF A CONSPIRACY!!! But I'll show them. THE FOOLS! I'll show them all!!!!!!!
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it means."
Planet Eight is Neptune. Methinks you should be shooting for Planet Seven.
How embarrassing! For the few of us who have participated in this tasteless humor. Thanks for the correction.
Uranus . Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third largest (by diameter).
Careful pronunciation may be necessary to avoid embarrassment; say "YOOR a nus" , not "your anus" or "urine us".
Ding-dong!
I've heard Ex-Files is ending. Will you be taking another screenname?
| my theory that the earth doesn't just look smaller from a distance, but that it actually shrinks in the observers private universe!
You can prove this by sending your wife over to see their new furniture. When she re-emerges from the house, she will have turned green. |
You're a nus...urinous?
Planet Urinous?
... just for old times' sake.

I claim prior art. That's very similar to my "greenshift" theory, which explains why the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. It happens because your neighbor's income is expanding, receding from yours at a very high rate of speed. From your point of view, this makes everything look greener on his side.
