Silly it is, but interesting nonetheless.
I don't know. He sounds pretty convincing. Can you make that stuff up, and even if you could, is it really worth the effort?
Actually, it is pretty interesting but I feel sad about it for some reason. I don't know why I care all that much since I haven't given Pluto a thought since I was in school.
According to Steve, if he doesn't believe it, then it doesn't exist.I don't know. He sounds pretty convincing. Can you make that stuff up, and even if you could, is it really worth the effort?
I think he's smart enough to be able to wing it. He has to be, with all that damn number crunching he does. I have a headache just thinking about it sometimes.I don't know. He sounds pretty convincing. Can you make that stuff up, and even if you could, is it really worth the effort?

Nothing wrong with that.Maybe he's just having fun giving you a hard time.

Number crunching? What the heck are you talking about?

Well, he's convinced me especially since I'm too lazy to look any of it up.

ahh.... but you're the one who doesn't believe in clutch, and are convinced it doesn't exist. You're comparison backfired.I was just trying to draw an analogy to "clutch", but I was too distracted to come up with something coherent

I like swords, sure.
I knew that was coming but I didn't want to say anything.

Plutians..Plutonians..bah..
the only ones ready to explode are Plutoniums.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Why are there names for inhabitants (of planets) who don't exist? Don't say they do, either...bunch of nerds!

There are inhabitants of Mars! Well, if bacteria counts. I'm convinced there is living bacteria on Mars (and reportedly, so are 25% of astronomers, although I think the real number is even higher).Why are there names for inhabitants (of planets) who don't exist? Don't say they do, either...bunch of nerds!
Plus, it's not just for inhabitants - it's an adjective for everything dealing with that planet. Such as gas giants being called "Jovian planets" after Jupiter or Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars being called "Terrestrial planets" after Earth (terrestrial is the adjective for Earth when not talking about inhabitants), the atmosphere of Neptune being the "Neptunian atmosphere", the moons of Mars being called the "Martian moons", etc. So these words do actually serve a useful purpose, albeit a purpose almost never needed for the general public.
But I still prefer saying there are inhabitants of these planets.
