And then this little known fact: It became hobosphobos or fear of bums and homohobophobos or fear of gay bums and then it became photohomohobophobos or fear of pictures of gay bums. And then protophotohomohobophobos which I can’t explain since I’m 0ut 0f “O’s”.

What movie is that screenshot from?
To: James C. Bennett
That is the original Battlestar Galactica.

The gleaming titanium shell of the abandoned interstellar generation ship is showing through the eons of space dust. Don't be absurd - it's a battle-damaged impulse-drive frigate.

Has anyone ever explained how the descriptions of the two moons of Mars got into the book Gullivers Travels, years and years before they were dicovered by astronomers? You think Gulliver's Travels is a book?

The two moons were discovered by one astronomer, an American--Asaph Hall--in 1877, in Washington, D.C., in what was later Dick Cheney's house.
How the author of "Gulliver's Travels" knew about the moons, I don't know, but he was pretty swift.

That is one cool rock. It would look great in my collection. I keep one just like it under my bed. The altitude is rough in the mornings though.

Second in desirability only to our moon as a settlement for pioneers. Doubt there’s any water there though after capture and/or tidal energy input.
Light enough that it may be used for travel in the future.
