Some might say that would be a good thing, seeing as intelligent life has yet to develop on this blue-green marble.
(me thinks I am too pessimistic at times)

did you know, i thik it is Saturn, it spins so fast that its north and south poles heat up and have literaly dissapeared off of the planet leaviong them very flat

Really, that's fascinating.    THe heating thing makes sense, but I have to say, the "poles disappearing" thing doesn't. NOrmally when we talk about a pole, we're referring to magnetic north or magnetic south. A planet can't have a magnetic field without poles (this would be like having a bar magnet with magnetic field lines severed at the end). Maybe it's true according to the definition of the geographic poles, but then again if the Earth is anything to go by, we would then say that the poles still exist, but are flattened. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am on this one. I'm quite intrigued about this one; time to consult the old astronomy book I think...

Meh, it was a good game! (of course it always helps when you win ), but Mutant's just being kind. 

So true, Doc. (By the way, do you play online?)
