Telescope snaps distant 'planet'

[Blitzerland]

I can see the headlines now:

*Types up rude, cynical story...

------------------------------------------------------------------

Planet inhabited by friendly tabby cats. President seeks declaration of war.

Bush: We must attack them! KILL! NUKE!

Reporter: But why?

Bush: Well, dagnabit, they're not like us, so they must posess lethal weapons of mass destruction! Duuuuuuuuuuuh.

Reporter: You are aware that all weapons of mass destruction are lethal, right?

Bush: Uh...9/11!

Reporter: Right. How will we get to their planet, anyways?

Bush: Ask Kerrey first. After he makes a fool of himself, i'll have a better, scheming, lie-infested answer ready.

Aide: Sir, you're over-communicating!

Reporter: Dear god in heaven...

--------------------------------------------------------------------


Yup. I can see it now...

Ah, I have touched a nerve.

EDIT: Sorry if I offended you...but really, if we ever did discover an alien race, do you think we would honestly try to make peace? Human nature and all that? It was just a joke, dude.

[Unknown Target]

No, you didn't offend me, I just find it annoying that every single thread has to be turned into somehow bashing the US, even when it's nowhere near related.

[Ace]

Ermm he's beating Bush, not the whole US.

Well... technically he's beating up half of the US if you count the people who actually voted for shrub.

[Night Hammer]

he could be bashing 1/100 of the US hes still bashing the US, thats no good, cuz im sure we can say enough about any other country in the world, except  Aussies and Brazilians cuz every Aussie and Brazilian  chick ive ever seen is damned hott

[Blitzerland]

I love the U.S. I live there, afterall. As a matter of fact, I am actually a very,very patriotic person.

However, I hate our leadership. Now, let us stop hijacking this guy's thread.

EDIT: And you're all fooling yourselves if you think I can beat ANYTHING up literally.

[vyper]

For **** sake you bunch of....

Well I still believe that humans could do peaceful contact IF we ever found another Species Okey maybe USA can't do peaceful contact was that you were saying? (well I can say that USA can do peaceful contact too. That is if they don't sink and turn to Military nation (under Bush.jr 20th) and that would suck

Edit: . to topic well it's really nice that new planets been founding maybe in future NASA founds something important that change humanity forever
(founds new life somewhere)


Oh and USA bashing must stop

That has got to be most retarded post I've read today.  You'll make a fine addition to Kerry's necro-bot army.

[Night Hammer]

Good call Shrike,


Now back to the post whered they see that planet at, like beyond pluto or out in another system?

[Ghostavo]

Another system obviously... look at the link and image... it's a star!! And the planet is huge (if it is one).

Shush! When they Xangrilans invade, President Kerry will be the only thing standing between them and our destruction. After he jumps off his spaceship to save a fallen comrade, then you'll be sorry you doubted him.

oh and, er, cool news about the planet thing.

By the way, I will never ever ever attempt any sort of political joke ever again. Not my thing. Not pretty.

Anywho, yes, that star is huge. The planet is probably similar to mercury, much of the surface "fried" off, with mainly the core remaining (ever wondered why Mercury's core was so freakin' large compared to the surface)?

Umm...dude...it was a bad joke...don't even sound like yer supporting me or you'll get flamed to death!

ENOUGH POLITICAL CRUD!!

But yes, that planet is cool. Nice pic.

[Ghostavo]

The planet is not similar to mercury in any form besides maybe in temperature. That is a gas giant. It's f*cking huge, look at the size of it. (again if it is a planet)

My bad. Didn't read the article. Just looked at the picture.

Can you say, laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy?

Sorry about that.

[Rictor]

huh? I'm always like this, and besides: saar-chasm.

However, I find you lack of faith disturbing. Unlike Bush, President Kerry will be tough on no-good freedom-hating aliens. He will personally lead the fleet to repel the alien advance from this strange new world, and quite possibly, though don't quote me on this, beach his warship and get out on foot for some face-to face alien asskicking action.

[Tiara]

That planet is actually VERY small. If that sun is actually what I think it is, a white dwarf, then the red planet orbiting it is about 1/5th the size of the US as a white dwarf is +/- the size of the US (in equatorial diameter).

That planet would roughly equal about 1.5x Pluto in size.
