 Ok, not very scientific, but quite funny! A clear foray into a banned area, but a very funny one. |

"A clear foray into a banned area, but a very funny one."
Doug, I know you're not a sci-fi fan but that does remind me of an immortal line from Jean-Luc Picard: "There can be no justice when the law is absolute." |

Perhaps this could legally reside in the Chit/Chat - Humor side of things instead of official Pluto business?

QUOTE (sci44 @ Jan 21 2009, 11:59 PM) Poor Pluto, even banned from UMSF. sniff. No. Not true. Pluto discussion is great. Is Pluto a Planet, however, is not. This thread is fine, but there are members who shall remain nameless who will take ANY opportunity to break that rule, and run with it. |
