The place to talk. "On topic"? "Off topic"? We make no such petty distinctions here.

The way I see it revisited...

OK, Ken's trivia question about Planetary Goddesses remains a good question. However, today's proceedings open up a whole new trivia question, or more correctly expand a trivia question that I didn't know existed:

What two celestial bodies were once classified as planets but no longer are?





Answer: Pluto and Ceres (I didn't realize Ceres was considered a planet in the 1800s but was demoted).

From what I can tell, the demoting of Pluto (and non promoting of Xena et al) means Chapter 7 is still factually correct until the Pope dies! Hooray!

You are still officially "Da man".

Speaking of the Pope, did you hear about God calling him and telling him he had some good news and some not so good news?
The Pope asked what the good news was.

"Well, I've decided to consolidate all the world's religions, that way there will be no more fighting over philosophies."

The pope says, "That's wonderful news! What could the bad news possibly be?"

"Oh, that. Well, I'm calling from Salt Lake City."
