  • CDoug03, on 10/10/2007, -3/+39but, I thought Luke blew up the Deathstar?
  • hypnotoad32, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37Giant steps are what you take, Wiki on the moon.
  • burndive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32I bet you call your father "Dad", and not his given name.

    The sun is called "Sol" and the moon is called "Luna".
  • Lister169, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30He went into Tosche Station to pick up some power convertors.
  • coldskool, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29How does this NOT look like a moon??
  • ericatha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28You mean... Saturn's rings?
  • WITFITS, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28I sure hope your legs don't break, Wiki on the moon.
  • AgentConundrum, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25We could walk forever, Wiki on the moon.
  • rebopper, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M YELLING ABOUT.
  • Kyouto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20So THAT'S why all the dolphins have left.....

    *****.
  • Sinistocrat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21We could live together, Wiki on, Wiki on the moon.
  • Endeavorer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Dusteroids
  • elnerdo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Can someone explain this to me?
  • jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20which is composed of asteroids
  • timster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17These aren't the Death Star references you're looking for.
  • dafragsta, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Was it posted by the Anonymous terrorist organization? Were lulz involved?
  • asskicker32, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Damn it. I came in here only to post that.
  • jggr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Spanish? I always thought it was Latin. You know the written language of Terran science.

    But perhaps it's Spanish... I don't know Spanish.
  • Junkyarddawg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15First of all it's latin, second Sol means "the only one", while Luna is both the moon and the name of a roman goddess (the roman counterpart to Selene).

    The Earth, incidentally, is named Terra. Which means 'soil' or 'earth' in latin.
  • gordeaoux, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltUiKvNsgJ0

    (no, you won't get RIck Roll'd)
  • j3one, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16"Mimas closely resembles the Death Star in the Star Wars films, which is also said to be several hundred kilometers in diameter. This is purely coincidental; the Death Star was designed and created long before the first close-up photographs of Mimas were taken"

    - coincidental my ass... (with renewed vigor, starts working on lightsaber project again)
  • yohnstoppable, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15M-O-O-N! That spells moon!
  • merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14That's still not "an asteroid skizzing by". That's thousands of micro-asteroids and space dust.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Best. Comment. Ever.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -9/+21Yes this really is an Earth...(Pic)

  • matthewf01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12want skizzing.
  • heysuburbia, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Mimas_deathstar.jpg
  • AgentConundrum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Had you actually taken the time to click his link before digging him down, you would have noticed that the wiki link is for the moon in the picture. Mimas is a moon of Saturn noted for, among other things, its striking visual similarity to the Death Star from the Star Wars movies.

    Please be more careful next time.
  • rebopper, on 10/15/2007, -0/+11Uncle Owen?... Aunt Beru?
  • GawtMilk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11The same reason you call your house "the house" and your car "the car". Sure, there are hundreds of millions of them, but it's fairly obvious which you're reffering to.
  • cgomez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I believe this is the first time I'll digg up a Mooninite since it seems appropriate.
  • givinupthefight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Well I'm sorry that I thought my dark lord of the sith could protect an exhaust vent thats only two meters wide from a bunch of teenagers!
  • andregriffin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Sippin' on some skizzuurs.
  • endlessoul, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10If you want to get technical, THE moon is Luna. THE sun is Sol. We call it the moon and sun because they're ours.
