Merry Christmas Jupiter

Huh? That's right, you heard it the first time. Yes, Merry Christmas to you and yours, happy continuance of Chanukah if you're one of the Chosen Ones, but if you really want to show some appreciation to something that matters in your life, throw a shout out to the largest planet in our solar system.



I read recently that due to Jupiter's enormous gravity well, it sucks in a lot of asteroids that might otherwise hit us. So even though it's Jesus' birthday, lets ignore that it's named after a pagan god and throw a little love its way. You're only here because it is. Merry Christmas Jupiter, stay big.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to everyone else too. Unless you're food.



In which case, thanks for your sacrifice.

(My sister's fish Turk with his Xmas present. And yes, there is a JD as well.)

  7. By Jove, what a smashing photo!

    Confession: being a sci-fi and astronomy buff from way back, I always wanted to go to Jupiter. When National Geographic published the first Voyager fly-by photos (waaay back!), I was in ecstasy!

    Wouldn't hurt to give him some props.

  12. What, no love for Uranus? Uranus keeps everything from backing up and ... yes, I'm stopping now. Howdy, Jupiter, you kick ass planet. Doesn't Jupiter have a hurricane that's been raging for hundreds of years? Can we make the idiot reporters go THERE to cover the story?

  16. Is that fish part cat? Because he's just toying with that food.

    Or maybe he was feeling Christmassy and was keeping the little guy warm?

    Yeah, we'll go with that.

  19. Turk and JD...bahahahahahaha!

    Fish are friends, not food!

    Jupiter will now hold a place near and dear to my heart. I've always been partial to Mars because of Kim Stanley Robinson, but Jupiter's been getting a bum rap.

    I'll spread the word. Perhaps a new religion will be born!
