Name the Exo Planets
« on: February 28, 2017, 09:53:08 am »
Twitter is having some fun with that.

Harry Potter fanatics want them named after the 7 Potter movies (omitting that there were 8); Star Wars fans want them named after the 4 Star Wars movies (because the first 3 didn't really happen); Disney fans want them named after the 7 dwarfs (which is actually pretty good); and Bueller fans want them named "Hey, Batter, Batter, Batter, Batter, Sa-Wing, Batter."

My personal, serious, favorite is Scobee, Smith, McNair, Onizuka, Resnik, Jarvis, and McAuliffe; the 7 crew members of the Challenger.  Just seems right somehow for the seven brave souls who "slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God."

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

If you use a Star Trek theme, only the even planets will be habitable.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Is there a more unfortunate father than Fritz Von Erich?   6 sons.
Jack  He was accidentally shocked unconscious by an exposed wire and drowned in a puddle at the age of six in Niagara Falls
David, died of an OD in Tokyo
Chris, Kerry, Mike all committed suicide.
Kevin is the only one still alive.
