I'm not sure what that's from... But it's 12:25 and I have an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon at 9:30 so \I'm going to sleep.

One last thing that pisses me off, planetary designation. Whae I was your age, Pluto was a planet.

Uggh i had to make a scale model of the planets distances and sizes last week.

lucky the frame was made of pvc and i made a little soda can stand so i can put soda cans at shooting hight

thats imposible....

if earth was 1 inch in diameter, pluto would be a quarter mile away...

Maybe he meant that the planet's sizes had to be to scale, and the distance between planets was to scale, but the distance between the planets relative to their size was not to scale.

Well building it to scale would pose problems as well. The sun is about 108 times the diameter of earth and about 625 times the diameter of Pluto. wait, Pluto doesn't matter anymore... Dangit.

Well if the Earth was an inch in diameter as you stated above, the sun would have to be 9 feet (~3 meters) wide.

Prolly the stupidest label I've ever read was on the back of a bottle of Lunesta sleep aid: WARNING: May cause drowsiness.

You know what? I'm not even gonna say anything...

we didnt have to do the sun, or pluto. and our science teacher seemed happy enough that we didnt make paper circles and call them a model.

Yup ours was the best in the class, the scale was 1cm=25,000,000.
It ended up around being 9 feet.

What are you talking about bashing? I say that to people all the time. I was bashing the factthat Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore. It pisses me off. You really need to take a minute to think before you post something idiotic man.

pyromaniac · Tue Apr 10, 2007 12:55 pm

Pluto was a planet till like 2 or 3 years ago. Now its a peice of crap little comet or asteroid or meteor or whatever you call it.

Scientest who call uranus UR-AH-NUS instead of YOUR-ANUS get me anoyed.

does that gueini pig have pancakes on its head?

paaiyan · Tue Apr 10, 2007 12:59 pm

Crap, I don't think it's even been that long since they screwed it over. I just wanna know why.

pyromaniac · Tue Apr 10, 2007 1:02 pm

Because it was to far away and to little and blah blah blah blah blah blah.

lukemc · Tue Apr 10, 2007 1:05 pm

i think they gave pluto the boot because it dosent have any moons so is not consitered a planet
