Bits and pieces

It's not enough we may have a tenth planet in our solar system, now we learn that it may have a moon orbiting it? How much can astronomers grasp all at one time?

What's the @ sign called in places where English isn't used? Herodios tells us. Pretzel, elephant's ear, monkey's tail, cat-foot; these are some of the alternatives.

This is the worst presumably unconscious pun I've heard in a long time: during the NPR newscast the announcer, explaining why New Orleans had to lay off 3,000 city workers today, said "tax revenues have dried up."

I think it's funny that the planet (or potential planet) is called Xena.

It's moon? Gabrielle.

Nerd humor. Good times.
