Scientists have redefined the “Goldilocks Zone” — the distance from a star where a planet would be “just right” and could conceivably have life on it. The problem is, with the new definition, Earth is no longer in the Goldilocks Zone. So I guess our planet is basically uninhabitable. I hope we have plans then to find and takeover one of the planets that actually are habitable. I mean, I have plans — with lots of cool drawings of us using lasers to shoot aliens.
I really should be Secretary of Defense.
Does this means when we resettle, we have to look out for bears?
Frank adheres to Papa Bear diplomacy.
Umm, I think they wrote “nearly” as in “new definition kicks the Earth’s orbit nearly out.” I guess somebody needed a headline; but it does bring the whole “global warming” thing into a new light. I want to call it “global thawing” since you see stories about glaciers retreating and revealing where villages had been; and the fact that Greenland’s name made sense when it was given.
First act as Secretary of Defense: rename the job title back to “Secretary of War” like it was until 1949.
Second act: “Secretary” sounds too girly; come up with a better title than that.
“I mean, I have plans — with lots of cool drawings of us using lasers to shoot aliens.”
Prove it! Show us the drawings!
They must have meant inhabitable by “intelligent life,” in which case watching just one hour of MSNBC can make one tend to agree.
….and bumble bees can’t fly….Gotta’ love Science!
Why do some of these scientists always seem to be in danger of disappearing up their own existence?
@ 9. FredKey : Because they depend on grants from the government, so they are basically government employees!
It’s about time we get a Secretary of Defense that is willing to pursue important things like adding dinosaurs with rocket launchers to our arsenal.
