Hi All,
How 'bout planet Bumble, after the term of endearment
Hola Rob and list,
Planet X was already named Pluto! This has to be at least Planet Y:) After
considerable thought, I've decided to nickname the new planet the Mushroom
Planet. Likewise, my scientific one word name shall be Basidium, if

I think that you are looking for the word ice, not rime.
Those names are not acceptable. Poor Snorri, poor Icelanders - the Sagas and

Hi,
Just a minor correction: the quote below should read: In 1,534,000 years,

Hi Sterling, Martin and all,
Although some might considered off topic (what is a planet) it is on
topic as we don't know where some of the unique meteorites in our
