Well. Ask Carl.....he knows.

[Signalman]

Ask the same people who’s on Dancing With The Stars and they’ll have no problem getting that correct.

[Diogenesis]

1.7, given Jupiter is close.

[Daveinyork]

Depends on whether you count people who think they are stars.

[BitWielder1]

Where does she work? Congress?

[pax_et_bonum]

Wow.

[coloradan]

Well, let’s see. There’s Beyonce and Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake and Rhianna ...

[knarf]

I counted them once and the answer is ;

every one of them !

(and that's a lot, I tell you .. )

1.7, given Jupiter is close.

Soon to be 2.0, I hear the Monolith is transmitting radio waves again. Haven't hear from Dave, though.

[mountainlion]

The dumbing down of America is well underway.

[ryan71]

And we wonder how the country votes the way it does....

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I’ll bet I know who most of them voted for for President. Scary HUH!

[Sawdring]

At parties I always like to ask people to convert calories into BTUs.

[ 1.7, given Jupiter is close. ]

2.9 1 for the sun, 1 for Nemesis, .7 for Jupiter and .2 for Saturn...

Nemesis is a far distant red/brown dwarf we haven’t found yet....

[fwdude]

Maybe they were thinking of Hollywood?

[Zathras]

Several problems.
People tend to be sloppy on how they communicate about science and technical issues.
This is how the uber-left manipulates the voter.
Second, people don’t try and understand science. We have (thankfully very few) FR’s who still think the earth is only 4000 years old.

Grasping aspects of science requires interest and the effort to understand things which are not always easy.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I’ve come to the conclusion that like art, astronomy is for those who can appreciate it. There’s not really much practical use for it unless you happen to work for NASA or something. For myself, I just enjoy accumulating knowledge on the subject that most people would consider useless in their day to day lives.

[Right Brother]

Gee, give them a break. They were probably texting and you interrupted them with your question.
