    Hey, nice to see you back with a not-so-hard-on-the-eyes nick... :)

          If they do declare it as a planet when its voted on, then I'll never be able to remember it with a name like that.

                  I don't think that will happen to many astronomers will get upset. Plus the fact that Tombaugh found it by inference, and not by studying thousands of pictures looking for anything that showed up. Though popular rumour has it that what Tombaugh found (Pluto) wasn't actually what caused him to look in that part of the sky in the first place :) B.

                      As a great fan of Enéas, I think you should know that he was elected the most voted member of the House of Representatives (I think this is the most near translation of “deputado federal”). He had about 1.5 million votes and his “female version”, Havanir Ribeiro, had about 600,000 votes too. With this voting, they elected all PRONA representatives (about 6)!

                            At one time, we had a network of Sun machines. The guys named them after the planets. There was a jerk in QA who insisted he had to have one too. He wasn't happy when they insisted on naming his machine Uranus.
