    It might be better described as a "companion" of Earth, or in a co-orbit. This is actually the third such object discovered. To explain what the heck is going on, here are pages about the first two:

    We were required to sing the Preamble in one class I took. Hence I still remember it this day:

    We the people *
    in order to form a more perfect union
    establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility,
    provide for the common defense,
    promote the general welfare, and
    secure the blessings of liberty
    for ourselves and our posterity
    do ordain and establish this constitution
    for the
    United States of America...

  22. Re:Plot device on Comic Book Physics · · Score: 1

    Yep, I know about that. But don't you think they are simply alternates rather than one being right and the other wrong? J and Y (and I*) only became different letters more recently in history, as did U/V/W. So YHWH and JHVH are equally valid, as I see it. Add vowels to taste :)

    Besides, we got plenty of this going on already in the subthread here.

    Now to get back on subject, do you know if the Jo- in my name has any meaning as a word-particle? Or should I just keep telling people I'm Superman's dad? Using letter substitution, I'd expect Yoel to be an equivalent name, and it appears to be the case. Ironic that my name is a proclamation of faith when I no longer believe. Sorry mom and dad!

    * remember Indiana Jones - "Iehovah" to get around the trap.
