Wahoo Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Warning - sexy female aliens are visiting this planet and kidnapping guys with big cocks Obviously, you lot are quite safe but I gotta say the inside of the space ship is AMAZING* ! Buckers * and it has decent internet Wow - that ***** is so big, he can wrap it around his body twice and stick it in his ear (ps - that's the end of a 'take me to your leader' joke about an alien and a petrol pump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horridbloke Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Almost all of them, yes. A few have been discovered by transits of their star, dimming the star very slightly (which means they're almost inevitably going to be very close to it and hence very hot). With those there's scope for seeing if there's any difference in the spectrum between when the planet is transiting and when it isn't. This is obviously very difficult to do, the differences being tiny. Wow. That is completely insane. In a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riedquat Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Wow. That is completely insane. In a good way. I know. It's people going to the effort of trying to do such hideously detailed measurements just to learn something interesting that makes me stop giving up hope for the human race altogether.

Maybe they're taking the long view for once and looking forward to their private Porsche Starship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
