I'm bumping this... Have you seen our Sun compared to Antares?  It's smaller than a pin head!

Whoa! bogus man. Think I'll go and rob a bank. It's just a trifle compared to this.

Its' size is staggering beyond comprehension.  Astounding.  I wonder what the justice system is like on Betelguse 5?  :P

I remember we always said Uranus when referring to the planet. Until they discovered it also have rings like Saturn. The all of a sudden they started pronouncing it Urinus. I suppose it was so people wouldn't keep making up jokes about rings around Uranus?

Are we alone?
  Hi Andrea Are we Alone ? there are 3 possible answers the last one is a little sour, to me the 1st one is there is life out there but its too far away,
2nd  they might not want to contact us, ( the 1st televised radio signal to leave earth in 1936, was hitlers speech opening the 1936 olympic games in berlin!, the last one is there is no one out there just us.

we are aliens but as to others quite certain they do , but they have no intention of helping or contacting us, the moment we developed nuclear weapons that was it, bye bye earth, chances are they are helping other worlds not to go down that road.
