Two New Saturnian Moons

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the heavenly-bodies dept.

Mixel writes "NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which has been orbiting saturn since the 30th of June has uncovered two previously unknown bodies. 'The moons are approximately 3 kilometers (2 miles) and 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) across -- smaller than the city of Boulder, Colorado.' The Huygens probe will be deployed to the large (bigger than Mercury!) yet mysterious moon, Titan, in December."

    Meanwhile to block big box stores the Boulder City council annexes the moons and declares them openspace.

    Boulder now 30 some miles surrounded by reality and still hounded by a constant football scandal.

    Property tax assessments to rise yet again.

    Local bus service to the moons is be nickednamed trek, to compliment the hop, skip, jump and bound routes; However no trek service after midnight.

    "Top Gay Nigger Analists"

    Because I respect your trolling abilities and dedication to your cause, I'd like to point out that "Analists" is not a word. The correct spelling is "analysts." Hopefully you will incorporate this improvement in further Trollympics first posts.

    Except that "analists" would not make me think of "anal" because the a is pronounced differently.
