I agree. Some things are too good to lose, and I think this bit should have been one of them.

Squirrels are what happened when Satan realized he had hate left over after making all his demons, and decided to mix it all in a barrel with spare bastard stuffing and unused whore's breath. They're good for nothing but chewing, shitting and making more of themselves.

Cute as all get out, but insufferably,…

The answer is 'yes', of course...

That whole Sith 'Rule of Two' is the worst idea since midichlorians.

So it's only a centimeter wide? Here's a thought: an ancient meteor impact's ejecta formed a molten droplet, that, in Mars thin atmosphere and low gravity, cooled into a spheroid before falling back to the surface, where it sat and gathered dust for a few millennia until a robot rolled up and spotted it.

That seems at…

Not to mention the REALLY weird and scary creatures that have evolved and been living there in Hell already where the fallen angels arrived. Some of his best work.

The part of the new definition that's always bothered me was the 'cleared the neighborhood' bit- because I don't really see it that way.

Practically every planet in our solar system has clouds of 'Trojan asteroids' floating around with them, some have more than one.

I think maybe the word they were looking for was 'cadre'.

Front yard should do. Take pictures.

I saw the headline and my first thought was " wow the BBC is really getting out there" and then I saw it properly and thought "I wonder how many clicks THAT'S going to generate?"

I'm generally more scientifically literate than the average person - so I had to read this a few times to be sure I was seeing it correctly.

So, the MORE massive black holes are, the LESS extreme the gravity outside the event horizon? Am I getting that right? Because it sounds SO WRONG.

I would LOVE to play this game again. My friends and I loved this game so hard we nabbed a copy of the character generation program before it all went away just so we'd have 'something' left.

Every once in a while I start it up and that music kicks in and ... good times.

So if the Great Filter was indeed the transition from very primitive life to more complex forms, that means that the galaxy is almost entirely populated by puddles of sludge, which seems not as bright a future as might be hoped?

Also, I think you can say with all confidence that the universe IS INDEED EXTREMELY hostile…

...aaaaaand the crowd goes 'no shit'.

Have you ever looked at pictures of this guy's career on television over time? His hair gets farther and farther from his head year by year. - like the producers were trying to make him look more and more kooky with each appearance.

Honestly, I don't think he needed the help, but it sure seems to have sealed the…

After scrolling down about a tenth of the way through the comments I'm inclined to say EVERYTHING FUCKING EVER.

All through high school I got barely passing D's in all my math classes. I was awful. So awful that when I tested to go into college I had to take a remedial mathematics course.

It is in fact, the former - from Wikipedia: " Pluto and Charon are sometimes described as a binary system because the barycenter of their orbits does not lie within either body".

So yes, Pluto is getting yanked all over the place by it moon(s).

None of this can possibly be mistaken for a good idea.

This new chapter of Rockatansky's story seems to have been worth the wait. Damn.
