Lake spotted on Titan?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ultimate-polar-bear-swim dept.

    This is not easy. I'm stressing out over here. I simply can't find a good angle to troll at this from. I could do a play off of "probe", perhaps. Or something about deposits. But they're both weak.

    I always save my last mod point to mod up a good troll. You people are too serious.
