Galileo's Flyby of Almathea
An anonymous reader writes "The spectacular Galileo flybys of Jupiter, Europa and Io are largely credited with the discovery of frozen water ice and some of the earliest examples of non-solar (tidal) heating anywhere in our solar system. For the next 10 days, Galileo scientists are preparing for their next target: probing one of Jupiter's moons, Almathea, at the close-up range of 100 miles. Almathea is one of the most unusual moons in the solar system, because it gives off more heat than it receives from the Sun."
The point of the joke was that the submitted wrote frozen water ice.
The water part wasn't part of the joke.
One more time, so you get it:
frozen ice
Its an unnecessary repetition, get it?
If you don't get a joke, don't say anything, cause when someone points it out, it ruins the joke for everyone else.
Just imagine, you ruined something for thousands of people. Maybe you should turn off your computer for the rest of the day. You've done enough damage.
Simple explanation:
"That's no moon, it's a space station!"
