Greek Philosopher Pythgoras speculated there was a counter Earch on the other side of the sun. He even speculated that the earth and planets circled the sun! He also said something that caused Ancients to disregard his ideas—He said Men and women were equal! ( based on the size of the brains).

No, only stable in 2 dimensions. L4 and L5 are the only ones stable in 3 dimensions.

Because she really wanted a guy like Alan Alda, but really took a wrong turn.

Why is the chick in the graphic so pissed off?

She got told to make sammitches and there was no bread or meat or anything.

She's dutiful and angry at her obvious failings.

She wanted a nasal, whiny, yankee bitch?

Why, for God’s sake why?

That and the hundreds of spacecraft we’ve sent out into the solar system would’ve detected it by now, especially the Stereo spacecraft.

They wouldn’t have to “always” be in opposition; the question is how long a planet could remain on the other side of the sun without being detectable.

That’s true... visually, either would just have to be out from behind the solar disk.

(Also, I meant [superior] Conjunction — Opposition is where Earth is b/w Sun & planet ;)
