Neptune’s discovery

[jayem]

Heard this on the morning news. Nothing controversial or debate-worthy here. Just interesting.

Today is the first anniversary of the discovery of the planet Neptune. The first Neptunian anniversary. The planet has made one revolution around the Sun since it was identified in 1846. Kinda cool.

Cool indeed. Thanks for sharing.

 

[AV1611VET]

Thank you for sharing that!

Now we can say the Flood waters have orbited the sun, eh?

You could also say that Santa climbs down your chimney every 24 December, but you'd be wrong on both counts.

Somehow, I don't envision you as ever having been to Neptune.

Unless you're Emanuel Swedenborg, that is.

Nope, never been there. You?

 

[AV1611VET]

Nope, never been there. You?

No -- and I don't talk like I have been, either.

 

[FrenchyBearpaw]

No -- and I don't talk like I have been, either.

No -- you just say ridiculous things like "flood water" being on Neptune. But you would never claim you've been there, that would be absurd.

How about you tell me where it went, then?

(That would be just as absurd, wouldn't it?)

As soon as you tell me how long you've been beating your wife.

Fair enough -- then I'll take your critiques with a grain of salt.

By all means, feel free to call me out if I venture into the land of absurdity and make unsupportable and ludicrous claims. I'll do the same for you.

I seriously doubt you will for long.

Many people have tried, and as far as I know, Rocko and my narc buddy have somewhat gone the distance; although both seem to do a LOT less posting for whatever reason.

Once you guys realize I'm dead serious in what I believe, you'll bark for awhile, but you'll eventually lie down.

Me? I'll take your bologna for awhile, then I start playing semantic games, ignoring you, or doing little parlor tricks like qv'ing you into a circular loop.

But if you can stand the frustration -- believe me -- so can I.

You're messing with a real veteran here --

I recommend you not take CF or the interwbz too seriously.

IOW, get a life.

I'm just a n00b, that's why I only respond to your posts once I see that you already have one foot in your mouth, and I don't care about your evasion (what else can you do?).

But if you were really serious, you would tell us all about the how the waters got from Earth to Neptune, and make it an engaging, exciting story. With some hot gypsies thrown in.

Cool story, internet tough guy.

People giving up on your incoherency of course does not have any bearing on whether you are right - which, you aren't.

I do hope that was a Blackadder reference.

Neptune is a beautiful planet. Perhaps not as impressive as Saturn with its great rings, but I love the white against the blue.

eudaimonia,

Neptune, the real Blue Planet!

On this occasion, everyone go planet hunting! Someone might just stumble on another Neptune
