Pluto's Discoverer's Backyard Telescope For Sale
Schart writes "My dad, an amateur astronomer/astrophotographer, sent me this link detailing the potential selling of Clyde Tombaugh (the man who discovered Pluto)'s backyard telescope. It features a 16 inch f/10 mirror which was hand-ground by the astronomer himself as well as a massive superstructure and 1-ton tube."
What a dumbass. That post was almost as stupid as the infamous "fp!" Mods fall for the early posts like little sheep once again.
ChaoticPenguin is a homosexual
Once there was a boy named ChaoticPenguin. He was 9 years old.
ChaoticPenguin had a dog named Patches. Patches slept in a doghouse beneath ChaoticPenguin's bedroom window.
One night, Patches couldn't sleep. He smelled a scary smell. "Bow-wow-wow!" barked Patches. "Bow-wow-wow! Bow-wow-wow! Bow-wow-wow! Bow-wow-wow!"
ChaoticPenguin threw open the window. "Oh, no!" he cried. "The house is on fire! Mother! Father!"
ChaoticPenguin felt the door as he learned at school. The door was hot, so ChaoticPenguin stayed in his room and yelled for help from his window.
A big strong fireman came up on a ladder and carried ChaoticPenguin to safety. ChaoticPenguin hid his face against the fireman's uniform until they were safe on the ground. ChaoticPenguin was very glad to see that his whole family was safe.
"That's a good dog you have," said the fireman. "He saved your family! And we got here in time, so your house is barely damaged."
The next night, ChaoticPenguin couldn't sleep. He thought about the fireman. He thought about how warm and muscular the fireman had felt through his uniform. He remembered the smell of smoke mixed with the fireman's sweat.
Remembering the fireman gave ChaoticPenguin a funny feeling. He wished he could be together with the fireman again.
The next day, ChaoticPenguin talked to his sister Sue. "I think I want to marry a fireman when I grow up," said ChaoticPenguin.
Sue gave ChaoticPenguin a strange look. "Boys don't marry boys!" she exclaimed. Then she ran off and told all the other children that her brother wanted to marry a fireman.
ChaoticPenguin went and talked to his mother. "I think I want to marry a fireman when I grow up," he said.
Mother laughed uncomfortably. "What a funny idea, ChaoticPenguin!" she said. "What will the neighbors think if they hear about this?"
ChaoticPenguin decided that maybe his father would understand how he felt. "Father," said ChaoticPenguin. "Did you ever wish that the house would catch on fire again so that a fireman can rescue you? And did you ever wish he'd take off all your clothes?"
Father gave ChaoticPenguin a strange look. "No, I can't say that I did," said Father.
The real shocker came at dinner that night. "I wish a fireman would take off all his clothes and sleep with me in my bed," said ChaoticPenguin. "And I wish he would put a dog leash on me."
Mother nearly choked on her tomato aspic. "Eat your dinner, ChaoticPenguin," said Mother. "And be quiet."
When ChaoticPenguin went to bed, his mother came to tuck him in. "Now, ChaoticPenguin, there's something I want you to remember," she said. "Don't play with yourself, or you'll go blind."
"Okay, mom," said ChaoticPenguin. He wondered if he could just do it until he needed glasses.
After ChaoticPenguin was in bed, Mother and Father talked things over.
"I think ChaoticPenguin may be a homosexual," said Father.
"It certainly seems that way," said Mother. "What ever can we do about it?"
"I think we should have a talk with him and put the fear of God in him," said Father.
The next morning, Mother and Father had a talk with ChaoticPenguin.
"No son of mine is going to be a homosexual!" said Father. "God says it's bad. If you don't give up this fireman business, we'll kick you out of the house!"
ChaoticPenguin burst into tears.
Mother talked to Mrs. Brown to see if she had any advice. "I think my little ChaoticPenguin may be a homosexual," said Mother. "I just don't know what to do."
Mrs. Brown's eyes grew wide. A homosexual! Mrs. Brown ran away shrieking. Soon, Mother learned that she had been un-invited from Mrs. Brown's Tupperware party.
When ChaoticPenguin went to school that day, all the other children ran away from him. "Ewww!" they said. "We don't want to play with a homosexual! We'll get gay germs!"
ChaoticPenguin stood behind and tried not to cry.
