Greg In The Desert

According to “scientists” a potentially habitable plant has been found, just a hop, skip and a jump away. 15,480 trillion skips (120 trillion miles). OK, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

The planet was discovered by the European Southern Observatory’s telescope in La Silla, Chile, which has a special instrument that splits light to find wobbles in different wave lengths. Those wobbles can reveal the existence of other worlds.

Fucking wobbles? With a name of 581 c? Can’t they do better than that? I suggest planet Gregthor-8.

Last night I watched a episode of Planet Earth on Discover HD. They went into underground waterways in Mexico and showed some of the most amazing creatures and environments, places that have been barely explored. Right here on earth.
