Reading deeper into your comment, I sense that some love-sick swain has actually contributed to one of those star-naming ventures, and has immortalized your name among the heavens. How sweet. Where in the night sky would one look to find "your" star?

You are a sharp one :^) Look towards the constellation of Leo, in the lower left quadrant. It's a fairly bright star.
Should you need any more pointers on romantic things to do (or perhaps say) for a potential lady-love, feel free to ask anytime. Time's a'wastin'!!! :^D

Drat! Can't even remember the fellow's name at the moment...

At least it's not one of those "name a star" scams, that charges a fee and promises to put the name in a [worthless] book that will be "registered in the Library of Congress!!!" Hey! I got one of those stars named after me!
It's called "We Got Your Girlfriend's Money for Your Birthday!"

Can't even remember the fellow's name at the moment... There's a lesson here. He should have spent his money more wisely. On buying you breakfast.

If I remember correctly, NASA did the same thing with Cassini. That one's been in space for at least 5 years now, and it's headed to Saturn.
One more thing. Hopefully the impact from our probe won't knock the stupid thing over into our orbit. :)

If I might offer, Patrick...perhaps that is why you remain, shall we say, "unattached". What's this? Impossible.
I have it on good authority that PH and his furry mascot, Plato the Platy have an inseparable attachment for each other. So inseparable, in fact, that the DA is researching what to charge him with....

Should you need any more pointers on romantic things to do Dear Pildown_Woman;
Do you recommend using leather restraints on the first date, or should I be more conservative and and stick with the velvet ones until I "know her" better?
Sincerely,
All Tied Up and Nowhere to Go......
To: HAL9000
This is a shabby lie meant to conceal the true mission which is to try and intercept this Earth destroying comet. They've known about it for years.
Why do they keep us in the dark?

All Tied Up and Nowhere to Go......Been spending a bit too much time alone with that telescope, I see. Well, science'll do that to you. My recommendation: take a walk in the park, look at the lovely spring flowers, greet a pretty lady or two as you are strolling, and settle in at a nice coffee shop for a cappucino. Then, smile to yourself with the sweet satisfaction that you did not let this spring go by unnoticed. Life is far too short, my friend. Savor what is presented to you...(also, speculating on the personal lives and habits of friends may anger the gods of astronomy).

My problem has been with finding a man smart enough (and humble enough) to hold my interest for more than a millisecond. Sadly, as smart as many scientists are, they are simply not good at what makes a relationship tick.

Sadly, as smart as many scientists are, they are simply not good at what makes a relationship tick. Longshadow's failure to understand "breakfast" is indicative of a man who got married in high school and never enjoyed a free moment thereafter. And poor Piltdown_Woman ... she gets it, but somehow remains unfulfilled. I think I can help you both. I shall accumulate a week's worth of spam, and then forward it on to each of you, via freepmail. If you can skip through the ones about interest rates, working at home, and digital cameras, I'm sure you'll find useful material.
PS: I'm looking for a way to name Orion after myself.
