Neptune May Have Eaten a Planet and Stolen Its Moon

    My buddy had a prostitute lick his asshole while he was vacationing in Amsterdam.

    This brings to mind Immanuel Velikovsky's book worlds in collision. I'm don't remember if this instance is in his book, but I've noticed that many scientists take credit for what was already hypothesized by Velikovsky.
