The new Pluto map is here! The new Pluto map is here!

Yeah exciting stuff huh? I mean, just look at it. It doesn't really look like much. They worked from 5 years of hubble images, and came up with this, by measuring the brightness of the planet as Charon, it's moon, flew by it's face. Kind of hard to find your way around the planet with this kind of map, huh? I mean, you could have had a few rum and cokes and taken an out of focus picture of the disco ball at studio 54, and come up with the same results.

The "least understood planet", they call Pluto. Aww! Makes you fell sort of bad for it huh? Maybe they shouldn't have named it after a disney dog. I mean, who names their planet after a mutt? Pluto needs a name change. Like the Saturday Night Fever Planet.

Or something.

Also, they're saying that the atmosphere consists mostly of a frosty mixture of nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide.

That's got to smell pretty bad.

Pluto.
The least understood, smelly planet that looks like a disco ball.
Yeah.

It's not new.
It's like 4 years old.
The map.
Or the article.
Whatever.

"Saturday Night Fever Planet" also seems a little dated. Such a clearly foreign body perhaps could do with some PR. Send this problem to those who take care of image control. (there must be someone out there willing to give pluto an x-treme makeover)

for the least understood planet to circle the sun. I imagine that when it returns to an old neighborhood in the solar system it wonders how things have changed so much in a year. Mercury, on the other hand, i hear is a real trend setter. When he's not in one of his retro moods, that is.  

13 Sep 2005 @ 06:24 by jstarrs : What about..
..Uranus, jmarc?
Well, if Saturday Night Fever planet is a little dated, how about something arty & european like Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie planet?  

13 Sep 2005 @ 11:27 by jmarc : a french name
may be more appropriate, given all of the methane gas. Uranus may be a good candidate for a french make over though. le poop shute planet. Has a ring to it eh?
Really though, I kid the french.
Some of my best genes are french.
I hear they've already claimed a quarter of the moon for themselves. Something about it being only fitting that they do so since it's made of cheese. Further telescopic investigations of the moon point to a more swiss origin though.

Here is an ancient quatrain written by the famous mystic, Nostrildamnus.

When the moon is in the french quarter
and le mutt is mapped in full
The starrs make jokes about the seventh planet
as the angels sit in the dark.

That Nostrildamnus was amazing huh? How'd he know so much?

Oh look. I used Uranus and candidate in the same sentence. How redundant.

Maintenant, je dois aller obtiens une dent tirée. Merci pour le donne et prend.
