BLM just ordered another thousand sub-machine guns to protect the spotted jumping tortoise from the shrinking red spot.

I wonder if the Jupiterians are running around all panicked and issuing white papers and TeeVee talk shows about “Spot Shrinkage: The End Of Life On Jupiter!”
To: BenLurkin
Shouldn’t that be “...ever observed”?

Even the smallest telescope would have shown it as a huge red hot dog
Weiner shrinkage is apparently a Universal problem ....

It’s been consistently shrinking since it was discovered,
so isn’t anytime anyone looks at the GRS, it’s the “Smallest Size Ever Seen”?
Stupid headline

Ancient astronaut theorists believe that the Great Red Spot is a portal to an alternate universe and may be where ancient aliens entered our solar system. If so, the shrinking of this object may signal a return of these aliens and an uncertain future for mankind on this planet.

Ever? Really? In all of Jupiter’s existence it’s never been smaller?
Or is it the smallest we’ve observed?
The editors who write headlines need to learn English.

You may be on to something, I think that damn two by four from 2001 and 2010 is somehow behind this.

My thoughts as well.
Local weather guy said temps yesterday at one beach community were “the highest ever”.
Same stupidity.
