Titanic Saturn

barakn writes "Using the Crab Nebula as an x-ray source, scientists have observed Titan's x-ray shadow to get a preliminary estimate of the extent of its outer atmosphere. On the same page, another article discusses the possibility that the hydrocarbon seas of Titan bear waves, albeit slow-moving and widely spaced, 7 times higher than waves on Earth (additional wave links here, here, and here). And Cassini-Huygens has snapped a photo of Saturn showing "two small, faint dark spots" in the southern hemisphere (this link has convenient arrows pointing at them, or here). Cassini-Huygens will achieve Saturn orbit insertion on July 1st. Huygens will detach and enter Titan's atmosphere in January, 2005."

I think that the UK and France should immediately launch nukes at the US and free these obese bitches from their misery. I wouldn't worry about a counterattack since obviously their fingers have become too fat to push the right buttons.

Lets drag their charred corpses through the streets of Europe's cities and poke at them with sticks.

So does this mean Michael _isn't_ a domain-thieving, censoring shithead? Oh, wait, it doesn't mean that at all.

YOU ARE A MISERABLE FAILURE!

The only resource that would make mining Titan economically viable would be pure, contained antimatter.
