I have two problems with this.One is that it's not just that they call it a dwarf planet. That would be fine. There are rocky planets and gas giants. No big deal also calling some of them dwarf. What bugs me is that they say they are dwarf planets AND that dwarf planets are not real planets. WTF? So are dwarf trees not real trees? Are dwarf horses not real horses? Are Dwarf people not real people? It seems to me that the International Astronomical Union are a bunch of bigots.
The second thing that bugs me is the lame excuse that there are too many dwarf planets. Another WTF. How lazy is the International Astronomical Union? Can you imagine any other profession being that lazy? Can you see botanists saying, "there are just too many trees. We will only name the 9 largest then everything else, screw them." Or doctors saying, "Just too many fu#%ing bones in the human body, We can only learn 10 or maybe 11 and that's it." The International Astronomical Union needs to stop being whiny little babies and learn to count past 8.
My Nostradamus predictions of upcoming studies: Men more likely to help a woman in need if she has a short skirt Men more likely to help a woman in need if she has a low cut blouse Men more likely to help a woman in need if she has tight jeans
This was a terrible article. Nothing suggested in the story had anything to do with gender. "We need more lights" because men see in the dark. "Pairs need free toilets" because men don't pee.
I worked at Coca-Cola back in the ‘90s when they tried to create OK soda. Supposedly Coke was the world’s most recognized word. Every country and almost 100% of the world new the word Coke. The second most recognized word was OK. The company decided that they wanted to capitalize on this built in recognition and they created the new product. To me it tasted like flat ginger ale. I did not like it. But I was told that I was not the target market. I was told that it was good that I did not like it because that proved that Generation X and Generation Y would love it… or something like that. I do remember loving the cans, they were very cool, but the drink was lame and it ended up failing.
That is just mean. A person has a beautiful house on the beach. Everything is destroyed by a volcano. That’s bad enough, and then the State comes in and tells them, “By the way you no longer have an ocean view, go fu#k yourself.”
I think it is interesting that people think that kids don’t play with guns any more. When I was a kid we played with toy guns – bang, I got you! – Oh no, I’m dead – and then someone falls to the ground giggling. For the last 10 years the toy guns may have become less common but the digital guns have more than replaced them. Now instead of shooting your friend and giggling, kids are immersed in huge raging battles with screaming, blood and gore. SO in the 60s it was bang bang oh you got me and now it’s wholesale slaughter with blood, gore and pleading for mercy. Yeah, kids are still playing with guns.
This is exactly what I thought would happen. Let’s hope this stops here. It was wrong to put the girl statue up in the first place…not because of the message but because it changes the original artist work and context. It would be like pasting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. So now some new person changes it again with the little dog. And like usual because the left does not like the speech they kick and destroy it. How about we just agree that if you want to make a statement you do your own work and you don’t try to steal others and if you don’t like others statements you don’t go and burn the books you write your own to refute it.
It's kinds cool looking but it does not look like it would be any easier then hammer and nails. I built a playhouse for my kids that was a bit smaller then that house... it was pretty easy if you buy the right sized lumber. I would also be worried about the glue smell...that seems like a lot of glue. I could not tell what the foundation was?
I love the liberal bigotry that claims that ONLY people of one race or upbringing are allowed to dress one way or another. If you’re not American Indian you cannot dress in a feather headdress. Traditional African clothing can only be worn by people of African descent. And of course it would follow that European style tuxedos can only be worn by white people. This kind of blatant racism is running wild in the leftist press and should be stopped.
