IMPORTANT! TWL will be updated TWICE a week from now on. This is how The Wooden Leg gets topical. In case you haven't read the news, Pluto is no longer considered a planet, mainly because of the fact it hasn't "cleared its neighborhood". Clearing the neighborhood in astronomical terms means either taking in all the smaller objects on the same orbit or knocking them out of the orbit. The funny thing is, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune or our own li'l Earth haven't cleared their orbits either. So, I guess we no longer live on a planet either, technically. If the IAU vote had gone differently, and indeed, been fair, there would be three new planets instead of one less. I think Xena would've made a cool planet. (Of course, Pluto and Goofy are copyrights of Disney) No spamming, I promise, just a short reminder when there's an update, so you don't have to remember.
Oh yeah, The Wooden Leg is hosted on ComicGenesis, a free webhosting and site automation service for webcomics, and all that jazz. |
