As a planet, Pluto was a real dog.And that's a bad thing? Everyone knows dogs are better than people. Now scientists say there may be something truly fishy about one the little world's three known moons.

Astronomers have announced they have evidence that, despite the bitterly cold conditions on the edge of the solar system, Pluto's moon Charon may have an underground ocean of liquid water, triggering speculation it could harbour marine life.

The water appears to be spewing up through cracks in the surface, producing spectacular geysers that instantly freeze, creating showers of ice.
.Finally, Ted Koppel was our link to the Iran Hostage Crisis. Every night millions of Americans watched to pray for the American hostages.

Pluto IS still a planet. The controversial demotion was done by only four percent of the IAU, most of whom are not planetary scientists, and was immediately rejected by hundreds of professional astronomers led by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto. Many scientists and lay people are working behind the scenes as we speak to overturn the demotion.

And Pluto may very well harbor a subsurface ocean itself!

Warm today...cold tomorrow.

I think that I was actually hot on the way into work today. The humidity and the temperature created a situation where the vent was just not quiet enough. That is OK because tomorrow evening we get some of the weather that I love. There is a chance for a wintry mix with the upcoming cold front; however, I think that will probably be mostly in the evening. I'll let you know if my right index finger starts hurting tomorrow. (Seriously, it is almost as reliable as the Farmer's Almanac.) Either way, Sugarless deLite doesn't plan on taking a snow day. We'll be here to serve you.

It seems like it got a little chilly last night. My apartment managed to drop down to 47 degrees. It is a bit harder to get out of bed and get ready when it is on the colder side, but the electric bill, or lack there of, is a site to behold. I'm predicting a bill under 13 dollars for the actual charge this month. It is a good thing since I have other things to save for right now. Friday in the News: In 2005, Playgirl magazine conducted a survey among 2,000 of its readers and came to the conclusion that women actually like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby, and definitely not metrosexual. According to the survey, 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair. Only 4% of wome...
