I didn't see "Quark's" listed there(DS9). Nor "The Bronze" (I think that was the name of the place in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".).

Hubble is 21? Woo hoo! I'mma take it out this weekend and get it snookered!

21 years since it's launch. It was scheduled to be launched in 1986 when Challenger was destroyed. So they worked on it for another four years while the shuttle program got back into action.

Ah, VV Cep. I remember doing some observations of that star when I was at Villanova...

I have to wonder... what's passing through that frog's mind?

K'Ehleyr appeared in only two episodes, neither of which had Lwaxana in it. So you must be remembering this from a fanfic.

On a related note' date=' is it mutilation to remove Dr. Octopus' arms to prevent him from causing damage with them? Assuming he survives the process and is otherwise normal? (as normal as he could be...)[/quote']

 

This was done at least once that I recall. Ock was able to get them back because he could remotely control them at a distance.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

From a recent Teen Champions game. We're battling a bunch of chainsaw weilding mechanical snowmen.

Player 1: (After coming back inside after a quick smoke) How's it going?

Me: I gave Frosty a kick in the nuts.

Player 1: Frosty has nuts?

Player 2: They have snow balls.

Re: Extrasolar planets

I'm jaded enough at this point that extrasolar planets need to be either Earth-sized or else directly imaged for it to really impress me. It's clear now that the galaxy is completely infested with planets. I never had much doubt' date=' though I know many other people probably did.[/quote']

 

Current techniques to detect extrasolar planets (with the exception of the transit method) are pretty much limited to Neptune sized planets. Although a planet of 5 Earth masses was detected by the micro-lensing technique.

 

At the moment, 209 extrasolar planets have been confirmed.
