    If only we'd stop pumping all kinds of money into Iraq and start focusing on our space program. Man, to live in a "Star Trek" universe! :p  This is awesome news!

    It's a planet full of razor toothed slug beasts who don't agree with our culture.

    Unfortunately for them, we have salt.

    I'm sorry, this just cracked me up:

    So, in other words, WE HAVE NO IDEA. We just know it's not a gas planet. Gotta love science.

    I bet it's got aliens that will fly here and kill us for finding them. Then all those people that worried about global warming wiping us out will be made fools of. LOL :lol

    For the record, I'm not worried about global warming "wiping us out" I'm more worried about it causing crop failures and increased energy consumption which in turn would make everything more expensive.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Back on topic, if they decide to fly here, at least it will take a long time (as long as they obey the laws of physics) hopefully we will see them coming and get our salt shakers ready.

    Well, that wouldn't matter either if the aliens wipe us all out! And salt won't help if they are bugs like in Starship Troopers.

    Surface gravity is about twice that of Earth's.

    Dang, they will kick our arses. On their planet, they can move normal while we struggle to just move around. On our planet, they would be able to run fast and jump high and be SUPER STRONG!!!!!!

    We will all die :(

    Not only that, it orbits a red sun...


    ...and they recently found 'kryptonite' on Earth, too.

    It's all starting to add up, isn't it?
