Bazza Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Serves them right for kicking Pluto out of the gang. Go get them "Pluto's Dad". Astronomers terrified after huge new planet turns out to be Pluto’s dad http://newsthump.com/2016/01/21/astronomers-terrified-after-huge-new-planet-turns-out-to-be-plutos-dad/ A huge new ‘9th planet’ discovered at the edge of the solar system is Pluto’s dad and has come to ask why we upset his kid. The planet, reported to be 5000 times bigger than Pluto, would like a word about why humans made his son cry by downgrading him from ‘planet’. Astronomers are reported to be ‘crapping themselves’ after ignoring Pluto’s threats to get his dad on them when they downgraded him in 2006. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 "schlep" means to drag, haul, etc. Move something around, with an implication of tedium and more work than it's worth. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
