Yeah, I heard that Pluto lost it's status on the BBC. I for one am happy about it. It means that the Titius-Bode law can remain uncontested.

I remember reading about that law when I was in jr. high in an old university textbook of my dad's. I always thought to myself that the reason Pluto doesn't match up with that law is because IT'S NOT A PLANET.

Check out how accurate the distances are for the rule for EVERY OTHER PLANET except motherfuckin pluto:

Planet, k, T-B rule distance, Real distance
Mercury, 0, 0.4, 0.39
Venus, 1, 0.7, 0.72
Earth, 2, 1.0, 1.00
Mars, 4, 1.6, 1.52
(Asteroid Belt), 8, 2.8, 2.77
Jupiter, 16, 5.2, 5.20
Saturn, 32, 10.0, 9.54
Uranus, 64, 19.6, 19.2
Neptune, 128, 38.8, 30.06
Pluto, 256, 77.2, 39.44


SEE?? PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET, AND I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR FUCKIN YEARS.

TODAY I HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED!!!!

However, Ceres did not meet their criteria for becoming a planet (again... it ONCE was a planet a long time ago before they started calling it an asteroid), but IT IS a fuckin planet. Look at the Titius-Bode Law: it predicts the Asteroid Belt. Now, either the asteroid belt is the smashed remnants of a prior planet... OR, Ceres, which is a ROUND object that comprises over 1/3rd the ENTIRE mass of the asteroid belt, IS that planet!

Man, fuck these astronomers. They don't know shit. Titius knew it all along. At least today they finally got the Pluto thing right.

Also, I always wondered if the further orbiting bodies beyond pluto could line up with the Titius-Bode law? I should try and figure that out. I might become a famous astronomer if I do... hahaha.

RUHHHHHHHH?!?!

More importantly Pluto lost its planet status today.

I did meet up with P later that night. We hung out at Brewsters so that night wasn't a total washout.

Wednesday was pretty much my only free night. Sister is going away soon so these last couple days are pretty much going to be spent at home. Saturday is my last Ultimate game so got to rest up for that.

Yeah, we're going Friday at 11:30 pm (I think?). It's a late-nighter. Maybe we should meet up on whyte earlier and pre-buy tickets then make fun of all the stupid buskers for a few hours before we hit up the show???

whoa. it SOLD OUT? no way. that's awesome!!
Al we're going on Friday if you're down

That sucks Al, we ended up going to the whyte ave chilis before the play. And the play exceeded my expectations. Good times.

Diaster tonight. Play sold out before I got there. Chilis closed. Guess it's not my night.
