What's with the mini-monuments lately? I'm voting for the pterodactyl as the coolest discovery of the week, but I'm curious to see if a mini-Sphinx or a mini-Taj Mahal will be dug up sometime soon, as well. Can you have a mini-Great Wall of China, or would it simply be a wall in China? -
32 Exoplanets. They'll be useful for mining! -
Roman turds because you can never have enough sh**. -
I agree with the pitcher, roman turds :-P -
I'm torn between the pterodactyls and the exoplanets. Both exciting discoveries that test the bounds of our knowledge and imagination. -
Flying reptile or the exoplanets -
32 new planets right outside our solar system.
By the way, lovely to see you again.
