New Ring Discovered Around Saturn

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday September 9, 2004 @02:54PM

HunahpuMonkey writes "BBC News is reporting that 'scientists using the Cassini probe have found a new ring and one, possibly two, new objects orbiting Saturn.' The article also notes that the discoveries are in the planet's contorted F-ring region. The ring of new material seems to be associated with Saturn's moon Atlas."

  hehehe
  
  I've read thru most of this thread, and what with all the talk about Rings, and the references to Uranus and all the hilarity that is bound to ensue from such a combination, what strikes me most is the absolute lack of goatse containing posts.
  
  Whats wrong with you goatse retards, can't you spot an opportunity when it happens?

An open letter to Google To all it may concern, You should be ashamed of yourselves. As the description of a search engine goes, one simply finds relevant information to a query and displays results. This does not include the views of the engine's maintainers, owners, frequent users, nor corporate interests. If you are to claim any high moral ground or properly do your job, you must remove whatever makes George W. Bush's biography appear upon the search "miserable failure" as the first result. It is a shameful thing to see such a thing. You are putting your own bias in front of actual information. How can people trust the results if this continues? Like I said before, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I hate GWB like the rest of them, but I do not by any means support this obvious obfuscation of information. -A concerned citizen
Your kidding right? by aussie_a · 2004-09-09 15:45 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I googled for "shit" to look for some Uranus jokes (this was before I realised the article was about saturn) and found several references to Bush. It seems trust-worthy to me.

Anyone who watched the first episode of Father of the Pride already knew that Siegfried and Roy were adding a new ring.
