What is your favourite Planet of the solar system then?

(Note, this is just an excuse to use my Privileged Status
and post a picture!)

Mine is probably Jupiter !

Patrick Moore says it should be pronounced "you ran us" in a
clipped manner, though I suspect he's just being a polite
old Gamesmaster!!!!

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art
of fucking people over.

My boss just quit the job
says he's goin out to find blind
spots and he'll do it.

The 3rd Planet is sure that they're being watched
by an eye in the sky that can't be stopped.

When you get to the promise land
you're gonna shake that
eyes hand.

Neptune's moon Triton is the coldest place in the
solar system (or so I heard right now watching a NASA video
on their groovy site) ;) It has Ice, and so I'm guessing it
has H20 of some kind. It could be a future fuelling point
for manned missions outside of the Solar System !!

Mercury is cool, because of its duality (one side frozen,
one side in heat)... and liquid metal isn't bad either!
besides mercury is used in thermometers... THE planet of
heat and coldness. =)

Venus is nice too - the hottest, brightest, with layers of
clouds composed of sulfuric acid, rotating slowly and in
retrograde, and the goddess of love and beauty...!
i picture Venus as orange.

i don't like Earth a lot. no, Earth is my least favourite
planet.

i like Mars too, especially little iced Mars bars! they're
almost as good as Snickers ice creams!!
and Mars is red and i like red. though it's not my favorite
planet... too much cliché and aliens and human
explorators.

Jupiter? yeah... i don't know much about it ' _ '
but it's cool i guess.

Saturn was my favorite as a child, for all its rings! now i
like it a bit less, since it's so cliché and popular... but
well... : )

Uranus is blue and big, and i like big blue, so i like it.
(not to mention Big Blue 2 is my favorite circuit on F-Zero
X N64, and Big Blue was the first circuit i managed to
finish without crashing years and years ago on the SNES...
was my first game :' ) - i like the melody of Big Blue
too!)
they say to pronounce uranus "yoor a nus" not "your anus"
but i don't know if i could make the difference...!! ' _'

Neptune is blue, Neptune the god of the sea, i like the sea,
waves, ships, underwater beauty, octopussies, squids,
mermaids!! : )
i know the holy queen of mussels and a colorful octopus from
hyperspace, and i have a plush manatee called Neptune also.
Neptune is a big blue too.
so yes, i like Neptune!!

Pluto would maybe be my favorite if fucking disney hadn't
call a dog by its name!!!... the farthest from the sun...
little, white (at least that's how i picture it!), all
mysterious and so far away... yeah i wish it had another
name or disney chose another...

i like the Moon a lot, but i would like it best if man
hadn't landed on it... fucking hu-mans!! -_-
planting an american flag on the Moon... selling part of
it... what a shame.

Io is a nice satellite yeah.

i like the names of some satellites... Phobos, Tethys,
Hyperion, Phoebe, Ariel, Umbriel (a very nice name!),
Nereid...

What's the big deal about landing on the moon? I think that
it is cool. Even though the reasons for landing on the moon
were part of a global satanic plot.. :\

There is also a Masonic flag on the moon, which is a tad
more sinister methinks.

#5 is an awful high position for a little planet-wannabe (I
personally don't think it is a planet at all) that's smaller
than Earth's moon !

I don't see what's so sinister about Freemasons, really.

Favourite planet: Phaeton, because it doesn't actually exist
and I have a soft spot for absurd theories of this sort.

Favourite moon: Cruithne, because it does actually
exist but as far as I can tell most people don't know about
it.

Cruithne isn't a real moon, I admit it, but it's too awesome
to pass up.

(and that's not a pyramid, it's a sort of Sierpinski triangle-like thingy)
