We have to do something about this! Sustainable fish for the children erase the hate going forward

No doubt earthling related. Ludicrous amounts of cash should be dumped into ceaseless research aiming to halt this human caused disastrous phenomena.

Good point. There won’t be the obligatory “we’re doomed” replies.

They come and go, some last a long time like the "red spot", and others are more transient. There were 3 red spots in 2008.

Oh my lord, the pain, the agony, the misery, the unbearable sorrow. What will we do when the red spot is gone? Bartender, another round please.

I didn’t know this =>

“Generally, atmospheric temperatures on Jupiter are around 1,700 degrees F (around 930 degrees C), with the exception of areas above the planet’s poles, which are heated by auroras. Above the Great Red Spot, however, the atmosphere is about 2,420 degrees F (about 1,330 degrees C), O’Donoghue said.”

Once it’s calm, we’ll need FEMA funds to rebuild until next time. Need to order lots of trailers.

Who hasn't had a GRS? Why does the GRS always show up when you have a date with the hunkiest guy or hottest babe? Why does it feel like your personal GRS also takes decades to disappear?
