    Have You Had Your Brown Dwarf Today?

    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/08/060814115617.htm

    The two objects, separated by less than 2/3 of the radius of the Sun or only a few thousandths of the distance between the Earth and the Sun, rotate around each other in about 2 hours. The brown dwarf [1] moves on its orbit at the amazing speed of 800 000 km/h!

    This is neat stuff.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    No, but I will when I check in with the bartender.

    800,000 km/hr? That's about 480.000 mph. Impressive.

    I too thought this was about a new drink. Served by topless female dwarves wearing teabag hats. Oh, wait... that was last nights dream...

    Yep. Just as the floor show started. Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman were doing a pole dance on the same pole...
