The Pursuit Of Leisure

100% correct, 50% of the time. A tongue in cheek look at culture both high and low.

New Planets? I Just Started Remembering The Old Ones

Apparently Pluto has been reinstated as a planet. And not only that, there are also three new planets. Just as I finally figured out the proper order of the planets from the Sun outward they go and screw me up. So "Pluto and Charon, Pluto's large moon, are the solar system's first double planet because they revolve around one another". I wonder how their egos will take that. Do you think there will be a duel to the death for superiority?

Given that the original Apollo 11 tapes are nowhere to be found, it's only a mtter of time before the wackos who insist the moon landing was a fraud taped on a desert set in Nevada start piping up again.

Would you equate using sperm of frozen animals to revive extinct species with stem cell research in humans? In purely Darwinian terms I think it's the same idea - you're trying to advance species through scientific means.
