Overheard

Miss Cellania has links, doctored-up photos staring Miss C. herself and YouTube videos from anywhere and everywhere on the internet. If it's funny, you'll probably see it first on her blog. -Suzanne Broughton

Miss Cellania has a site that is to die for. Whenever it’s time for a bit of a smile, interspersed with a gaffaw or two, I head on over there. -Compass Points

If you’re jonesing for more links you may want to visit Miss Cellania’s blog. Or should I say blogs. She’s like the blogosphere’s version of that Jamaican family from In Living Color. She has more blogs than they had jobs. If she starts contributing to one more blog I’m going to stage an intervention. -Cynical-C

I could never in a million years come up with half the wonderful facts, news, links et al that pepper every post she creates. -Mad Baggage

It’s a fantastic set of funny and interesting links, jokes and pictures that she compiled *every day*!   -Neatorama

She finds the coolest, funniest stuff day after day. How on earth she does this I have no clue. -NYC Educator

I don't even know how I found Miss C, but I remember the first time I was there, I burned my chocolate chip cookies. I just couldn't stop browsing! Fun stuff over there.   -Boomer Chick

If you're not regularly heading over and reading her well compiled, link-filled-goodness posts already, then maybe you should take a step back and do some self reflection and introspection to make sure your life is headed the direction it needs to be and that you're on a path that is fulfilling to you and your fellow man, as a person and as an American. -Hoodlumman

Funniest woman alive. -Pixie

It is quite possibly one of the most extensive sites I have seen for links to humourous content. It is a virtual encyclopedia for a myriad of different jokes on different topics and still growing. So a good site and worth checking out, theres definitely something for everyone, or anyone whos up for a laugh that is!   -Mr. Joe Blog

BTW - you quite possibly put together the best, most well researched content on the web, bigtime kudos to you!  -Anita B

One place I keep going back to is Miss Cellania. She really has it going on over there. Her posts are chock full of stuff I've never seen before, along with a few old favorites I had forgotten about. Anyone that can consistently come up with that much good stuff deserves kudos. -Blue Beaver Beer

Miss Cellania - is a great read, and there’s more than enough laughs to kill an evening with, on any given day. Miss C has her fingers on the pulse of every joke on the web that you haven’t seen yet. -Saskboy

(Funny, if a tad lowbrow)  - Utopia Moment

Fabulous as usual..I appreciate all of the effort..and I am truly humbled.  -Homo Escapeons

I'm not even sure why I thought her post is funny, but it is. That's all you're getting from me. Go read it.  -konagod

YAY! Miss Cellania knows I'm alive!!  -Fuzzy Dave

Pluto

plutoprotest.jpg 

 The big news this week: Pluto is no longer a planet. Nothing changed on Pluto; the definition of astronomical terms has. It will be reclassified in a new category of "dwarf planets," similar to what long have been termed "minor planets." The International Astronomical Union tried to make the decision by defining a planet. If they defined it one way, Pluto was out, but if they defined it the other way, lots more objects in our Solar System would qualify. Pluto doesn't make the grade under the new rules for a planet: "a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a ... nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit." Pluto is automatically disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's. Here’s an explanation that doesn’t get too long and involved.

Pluto responded with hurt feelings.

There I was, minding my own business, orbiting the Sun just like all the others. I got my little bit of atmosphere going, got a lot of ice. I was cool. I stayed out of everybody else's way, sometimes way out.

Then some eggheads on that uppity third rock -- they think they're so hot because they have "life" -- went and decided I'm not a planet anymore. What's up with that? My life is hard enough as it is.
Pluto was only discovered in 1930, by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. His widow is shook up about the reclassification of the former planet she inherited. Sorta.plutotoon.gif

 

This really puts the kibosh on one of my favorite mnemotic devices. I learned all the planets in order with the sentence “My very educated mother just served us nine pumpkins.” Now that will have to changed to  “My very educated mother just served us noodles.”  Not as funny. Can it be as memorable? So there had to be a contest to find a new mnemotic device for remembering the planets.
It also makes me wonder what affect this reclassification will have on astrologers. What planet is your house in?  ...Uh, none, its in Pluto.

Pluto has always had a reputation for being tiny, as far as planets go. This will give you an idea of the relative size of planets and former planets.

Worth 1000 has a Photoshop contest up about the fight to save Pluto’s Planethood.

 Disney issued a response to the downgrading of their favorite puppy dog to dwarf status.

Although we think it's Dopey that Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which has made some people Grumpy and others just Sleepy, we are not Bashful in saying we would be Happy if Disney's Pluto would join us as an eighth dwarf. We think this is just what the Doc ordered and is nothing to Sneeze at.

Skunkfeathers is concerned about Pluto's flatulence.

Pupil: "Please Sir! Did you hear that scientists have found life on another planet?"

Teacher: "What are you talking about?"

Pupil: "They found fleas on Pluto!"

JUPITER

 
Jupiter came down to Earth one day and decided to help these two criminals to rob a bank. Anyway, to make a long story short, they got caught and the three of them found themselves in court. The judge sentenced the two earthlings to fifteen years, and Jupiter was a bit shocked when he was sentenced to ten years.

"But your honour" said Jupiter, "I didn't even take part in the robbery!"

"Yes" said the judge. "But you helped them ... Planet!".

MAKE IT SIMPLE

 
A theologian and an astronomer were talking together one day. The astronomer said that after reading widely in the field of religion, he had concluded that all religion could be summed up in a single phrase. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," he said, with a bit of smugness, knowing that his field is so much more complex.

After a brief pause, the theologian replied that after reading widely in the area of astronomy he had concluded that all of it could be summed up in a single phrase also.saturn_logo.gif

"Oh, and what is that?" the astronaut inquired.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star; how I wonder what you are!"

Thought for today: One of these days, you’ll get over the notion that the world revolves around you.  -Galileo’s mother

Once again I am discombobulated by the vast amount of information and thoughtful attention that you put into your posting. How on Earth do you do it.

Relegating Pluto to the 'got gravity?' list won't change my life in any way, shape, or form. That being said it is encouraging that anything related to Science can actually still make the news.

Maybe now we bipedal knuckleheads can start discussing what we are actually doing to this planet!

Personally, I defy the usurpers of the IAU; Pluto is and remains our 9th planet, whether or not it is flatulent. Besides, if Plutonians are upset with how we named them, think about how angry natives of Uranus are...

Really good, Miss Cellania! We all need to speak up for Pluto. Who are these people that downgrade planets at will?

Would we like to have been downgraded?
08.26.06 @ 06:46AM | Unregistered CommenterJean-Luc Picard
I don't give a damn what they say...Pluto will always be a planet to me...I'm too friggin' old to unlearn what I learned ;-) Let's sentence the IAU to picking Clingons off Uranus!!

At first I was upset about the Pluto thing...how DARE they change what we've known for so long? And then I remembered that for a very long time kids were taught the world was flat. Oh well. Education sucks anyway...and I say this as a soon to be teacher.

Poor, poor Pluto. How will it live its life as a non-planet? How will we live without it as our favorite little planet? :-(

When I heard about Pluto on the news I wondered why they are wasting time and energy on unclassifying it as a planet, give me a break! It's been known as a planet for so long, let it be.

As for the other Pluto, they better not mess with him, he's an icon. That protest photo was hilarous!

Have a fabulous day and I hope to see you at the slumber party! We need Miss C!

For the longest time I've been trying to find a planet that I can send the people I don't like to. I would have never sent the thugs to Pluto though he's just so likeable.
08.26.06 @ 11:34AM | Unregistered CommenterSenor
I agree with most of the others. I will still think of Pluto as a planet. The next thing you know they will declare that something with politicians can't be a planet and where would that leave the Earth? Oh wait, maybe we would better off if we could rid ourselves of certain pests.

This post was so delightful from start to finish!
My heart has been so sad for poor Pluto. My kids didn't believe me when I told them Pluto was no longer considered a planet.
I told them that they will tell their kids some day, "When I was in school, Pluto was still a planet." Their kids will say, "Really? Gosh, you are SO OLD!!"
I'm honking with all my might for Pluto!!!!
08.26.06 @ 05:35PM | Unregistered CommenterJamie Dawn
Hell, I had all kinds of funny comments to leave, but between your post and your readers' comments, they've all been taken.....oh well.
08.26.06 @ 07:04PM | Unregistered CommenterChris
Uh-oh! The teacher's going to think we copied from each other!

Parts of our posts are eerily similar. I even used the same picture of Pluto.
08.26.06 @ 10:20PM | Unregistered CommenterMike Ashley
Your post is better, but mine was 20 hours earlier! Besides, there was only one good picture of Pluto anyway.

And here's a great piece of artwork from the very-un-evil guy who does the webcomic "Evil Inc.", Brad Guiger:
