- gdog05, on 06/22/2009, -2/+57I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.

- TDDebug, on 06/22/2009, -3/+11I hate how our solar system is characterized by Humans! I want us to be known for that really fast spinning dwarf planet...

- Twee, on 06/27/2009, -0/+8That joke would be completely tasteless if you told it after yesterday.
- irkalla, on 06/22/2009, -0/+7The problem is that this world is just way too distant to get a decent picture. The only available picture of the dwarf planet is at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haumea_(dwarf_planet)
As you can see, the picture provided doesn't really help much. - jer21, on 06/22/2009, -0/+7It's usually a good idea to read the description of the url before clicking on it...
- govtdoesnotwork, on 06/22/2009, -1/+7Iapetus still takes the prize for me, because nobody can explain that 10 mile high belt that goes most of the way around it (among other things).

So you convert the data into some visual representation (digital to analog conversion needed, btw) which is then reabsorbed by the gelatinous orbs in your skull and converted into electrochemical signals that your brain can process? And that somehow increases the credibility of the information? - MaWibc1, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Good....
- MaWibc1, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Such a great help
