ea, but they said the planet is 20.6 lightyrs away or something like that, so you'd start going at age 6 get there by like your mid 30's lol

your estimation requires that you'd be traveling close to the speed of light, so i think in reality you would just be dead before you arrived.

i would also like to note that i am acquiring night of the living dead for my viewing pleasure, and training purposes.

A team of European astrologers found a new planet outside our galaxy that could sustain life.
It has almost the same config as our planet. And it is 5 times bigger.

Are the galactic wars coming closer...

Are you sure it wasn't astronomers? I've never known an astrologer to do anything useful.

[AngeluS]

astronomers, astrologers. It's all one big pile of geeky people.
You are right though, should have said astronomers

[Fygar]

Ok, the planet is bigger, but is it necessarily better? I can't find any reviews on amazon or digg.

i'm offended you mixed astronomers with astrologers

I don't want to live there. It'd be like me weighing 800 pounds on earth. You metric people can go divide by 4.45 to figure out Newtons.

It depends on the density of "air" on that planet, too, but probably close

Fatso...

When this landed in my inbox yesterday I must admit it made me wonder quite what astrologers did all day...

Not quite the aura that the great unknown holds anymore, when astrologers reference fairy tales.

oh well the link didn't work... i tried!!

Astrologers have always referenced made up nonsense with no grounding in the truth. Astronomers on the other hand are serious scientists.

OK this is crazy. If this was the first slip I'd understand but it's not. How many people out there don't know the difference between an astrologer and an astronomer? Do you make the same mistake with witch doctors and medical practitioners?

this is a conversation for smart, fancy people with big hats. DOME

[rex-mundi]

point taken.... fat blokes in weird clothes or scary wirerey women who just appear and talk about Saturn being up Uranus v professors, with big bits of glass and mirrors, radios and lasers

more to the point though

are the three bears anywhere to be seen, or is a hell of a lot of astral porridge going to be eaten?

electromagnetic flux is too high, i don't know why people care.
