- aphexcoil, on 06/15/2009, -0/+21Picard: "Warp 9 Data!"
Data: "At that speed, it will take 240,392 years, seven months, 6 days, 3 hours and 22 minutes to reach the planet."
Picard: "***** it! I'm going to the holodeck." - DuckSoup1, on 06/15/2009, -1/+21Never in other galaxies. This would be a first.
- Painkilla05, on 06/15/2009, -0/+12I prefer warp 10. As long as I don't turn into a lizard of course.
- faceless323, on 06/15/2009, -0/+86x the size of Jupiter.
That's a huge bitch... - RealmDown, on 06/15/2009, -2/+9You are alienating, does that count ?
- rodrigo74, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7The reason why this is news is not because they "discovered" there are planets in other galaxies (that's a given), but the fact that they could detect it.
- CrazedLeper, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7That was such a dumb episode I could never get through it a second time. I might not have finished watching the first time had I known where they were going with that.
- Daxx22, on 06/15/2009, -0/+6This planet is more like one step down from a star. It's roughly six times the mass of Jupiter.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -1/+6Do chickens have large Talon IVs?
- FrederikNS, on 06/15/2009, -1/+6His joke is valid, as it would not be possible to see anything further away (in light years) than the universe is old, as the light would not have reached us yet.
- chadsmith729, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5So are we talking like "Planet" planet or "Planet" like Pluto planet? I can't go through that again, I just wouldn't let myself do it. I cried for weeks after Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
- TheInformer, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5In 2.2 million years, they'll finally get to see the season finale of Seinfeld.
- CrazedLeper, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5@ThisIsSkynet said:
"Light years deal with distance not time. Your joke is invalid."
A light year is a measure of distance equated with a measure of time. One can, thus measure both simultaneously. - Eurynom0s, on 06/15/2009, -3/+6I, for one, welcome our new Andromedan overlords.
- loganz, on 06/15/2009, -1/+4lol at no one catching on to his sarcasm
- royalol, on 06/15/2009, -1/+4Actually, no. If, for example, the universe was 6000 years old and the Andromeda galaxy was 2.2 million light years away, we people on Earth wouldn't be able to see the Andromeda galaxy because its light would not have reached Earth yet.
- FrederikNS, on 06/15/2009, -2/+4Ignorance is bliss...
"Current theory and observations suggest that the universe is between 13.5 and 14 billion years." - wikipedia
Enjoy your creationism. - bladimirputin, on 06/15/2009, -3/+5Didn't this hit the front page like a week ago?
http://digg.com/d1tRHu - skit4king, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2one word "Dinosaurs"
- WARP10ENGAGE, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2Warp 10 FTW
- askantik, on 06/15/2009, -1/+3While you're right that the Bible doesn't say, a large number of people still believe it. They are the "butt" of the joke.
- TheInformer, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2I'd choose transwarp, but I understand if others preferred tranzwarp.
- c0mputar, on 06/15/2009, -1/+3It takes a certain level of reading comprehension to see his comment was written sarcastically. Now if he was actually serious, then I underestimate how bold they have become.
- neillawson, on 06/15/2009, -0/+2Assumptions are good, data is great.
- sokrateas, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1The article is only about 3 paragraphs long, you really couldn't take the time to read it?
- CrazedLeper, on 06/15/2009, -3/+4The Bible never said the earth is 6,000 years old. Men (catholic church) said that and then they went on to become an army of child molestors. It should be clear from that, alone, that if there is a God, he has nothing to do with them. But, no, you keep repeating that error and now you want to make it into an excuse for your conduct. You can do that if you want to but it's bound to end badly.
- DarthMonkey, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Video, or it doesn't exist!
- seanstuart, on 06/15/2009, -1/+2Kind of cool. We know there are a lot of planets in our own galaxy, so I guess I'm not exactly astonished to hear of a planet in another galaxy too.
- cocainxbluez, on 06/15/2009, -1/+2Messier 11 would have been cooler, haha... if you know hockey you know what I'm saying.
- hockeygiant2, on 06/15/2009, -1/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messier_11
It does exist. But yes, I got your joke. Have a digg. - Painkilla05, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1It would be a Plutoid if it was like pluto
- kolyanych30, on 07/24/2009, -0/+0they just suppose, that find planet in another galaxy, the reality is - no any planet with life
- TheInformer, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1The Kelvans will be pissed if they catch us looking in their bedroom windows.
- terrya64, on 06/15/2009, -3/+4At first I read it as "Plane Spotted".
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -2/+2Yet light as a feather.
- banski, on 06/15/2009, -1/+1a star doing the hula 2.5 million years ago
- TheInformer, on 06/15/2009, -1/+1The real estate market there will be ours for the taking.
- terrya64, on 06/16/2009, -2/+1Cause it was funny dammit!
- ivansusanin, on 06/15/2009, -2/+2EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!
- DigitalExtreme, on 06/15/2009, -1/+0I think I would have been beat if I would have suggested this years ago
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -2/+2Pluto is a hunk of ice and rock. It didn't cry a single tear over being demoted. I'm sure it didn't even get the memo.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 06/15/2009, -3/+2Why do you feel the need to tell us about your reading comprehension problems?
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 06/15/2009, -1/+1I love hockey, but you need to get a life. 8)
- amorrise, on 06/15/2009, -3/+2Will we have to use a wormhole to get there, and maybe we can have a space station called Deep Space 9 for no reason.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -3/+2That was really funny. Thanks!
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 06/15/2009, -2/+2That's no bitch...that's OPRAH!
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -3/+1From Howstuffworks.com:
"Using a light year as a distance measurement has another advantage -- it helps you determine age. Let's say that a star is 1 million light years away. The light from that star has traveled at the speed of light to reach us. Therefore, it has taken the star's light 1 million years to get here, and the light we are seeing was created 1 million years ago."
That's impossible. And I certainly was not joking. But thanks for trying to trip me up. - CoD4, on 06/15/2009, -4/+1Talon IV?
